Our unit is tasked with the development of trainings and provision of response capacity consultations to improve the global emergency workforce to better respond to international public health emergencies. The project will evolve over time as we respond to public health emergencies globally but may include tracking trainings, database management, data visualization, performing literature reviews and supporting communication material development. The project can be aligned with the student's interests and career goals. Other projects that the student may support include:
• Designing and developing curriculum in collaboration with CDC subject matter experts for CDC responders, foreign governments, and international organizations during both peacetime and response activation
