Public Health Workforce Development
Instructional Design in Health
Epidemiology Training

Background:

Field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) are vital for building public health capacity.
Customized training is effective but can lead to inconsistencies.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) partners with countries to strengthen health workforces.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development of a standard curriculum for FETPs.
To address challenges of flexibility, redundancy, and inconsistency in training programs.
To outline a systematic approach for creating adaptable, competency-based training.

Main Methods:

Utilized the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model for instructional design.

A cross-functional team developed a standard curriculum based on 15 core competencies.

Integrated needs assessment and evaluation into the curriculum development process.

Main Results:

A standardized, competency-based curriculum was successfully developed.
The curriculum facilitates program expansion and adaptation.
The ADDIE model provided a structured framework for curriculum creation.

Conclusions:

A standardized curriculum, developed systematically, is crucial for effective FETPs.
Balancing standardization with adaptability is key to successful public health training.
This approach supports workforce development and strengthens national health systems.
