We have launched the Australian Applied Epidemiology Network (AAEN), our new professional network for MAE alumni, students, and friends of the MAE!

What is the AAEN?

The AAEN will provide a network for public health professionals in Australia, its surrounding regions, and globally to connect on topics relating to applied epidemiology. It is intended to function as a user-driven platform to:

• circulate information on training, job opportunities, conferences and other important events
• exchange information on current public health issues within Australia and globally
• exchange information on technical matters related to applied epidemiology
• circulate information on deployments to global, regional, and cross-jurisdictional public health emergencies
• organise in-person meetings, e.g. via local chapters or at conferences
• engage in mentoring activities

Who can join?

The AAEN is open to all current, past and future students of the Australian Field Epidemiology Training Program, also known as the Master of Applied Epidemiology (MAE), as well as other public health professionals in Australia, surrounding regions and globally who have a connection to the Australian FETP, or who share similar interests to the Australian FETP.

How to join?

We will use Discord as a technical platform for the AAEN.

You can use Discord as a desktop application, in your browser, or on the app.

What will happen to other communication channels?

Communication from the MAE will happen through the AAEN in the future, and other internal communication channels will be phased out. The Wattle/Canvas platform will remain in use to communicate with current MAE students officially. Please share in your networks!
