Field epidemiology for animal health
R‑FETPV trains government veterinarians to detect, investigate and respond to animal and zoonotic disease threats — through service, in the field.
Trainees admitted, countries represented and cohorts run since the first cohort in 2009. Updated —.
Trained together, across the region
A regional training program hosted by Thailand’s Department of Livestock Development and delivered with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and partners across Asia and the Pacific.
Since our first cohort in 2009 trainees have stayed in post and learned by doing the work their veterinary services actually need done — surveillance analysis, field investigation and evidence‑based advice to government.
- Surveillance analysis
- Outbreak investigation
- Scientific writing
- One Health collaboration
