The NCDC EIS program helped me work closely with health systems around the country. It gave me the broader picture of how I can be a resource to this country. I am leading the operations of safetynet in the southern part of India.
The field mentoring system helped me understand the field realities in my day to day work. This knowledge helped me in serving my population better. Today I am able to analyse the data of my population with more systematic methods.
Classes on surveillance system setting up and evaluation helped me to set up a SARI surveillance system in the state. I have my heart felt gratitude for my mentors in the FETP program who helped me realize a dream come true.
Applied epidemiology courses has been very useful to enhance my skills as a Public Health Professional for supporting the state and districts in outbreak response and mitigation.
The EIS program has enabled me to epidemiologically analyze the public health situation which helped me to deliver in more effective way. I felt more confident in investigating outbreak in a scientific way after attending EIS. I could also credit the EIS program for refining my writing skills through scientific workshops and webinars
Undertaking AEP program was technically very enriching experience. I really appreciate the fact that this training aims and has inbuilt in it the skill building component, through LEARN BY DOING IT approach beyond just technical knowledge. Now you know why they say PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTITIONER. Somehow the very training process ends up giving you a very novel and practical perspective to any given public health situation which enables you to take strategic positioning.
