%X Field Epidemiology Training Programmes (FETPs), which are modelled after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention¡¯s Epidemic Intelligence Service programme, began in 1980 and have produced graduates in more than 70 countries, including 12 in the Western Pacific Region. (1, 2) These programmes aim to ¡°build sustainable capacity for detecting and responding to public health threats¡± and ¡°develop expertise so that disease outbreaks can be detected locally and prevented from spreading.¡± (3) FETPs thus include training in applied epidemiology and public health services. FETP trainees and graduates, however, often have additional responsibilities: mentoring newer trainees, supervising in the field, leading short training courses, facilitating meetings, etc. Programmes therefore must provide trainees with the knowledge and skills to fulfil these responsibilities
