The Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) has launched a five-day, in-person training workshop under the Caribbean Regional Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Programme (CR-FELTP) – Level II, aimed at strengthening public health response capacity across the region.
It runs from Monday through to Friday at the Kapok Hotel. The initiative is being deemed as a critical part of CARPHA’s ongoing efforts to build regional resilience against public health threats through workforce development.
This year’s FELTP Level II cohort includes eleven (11) trainees from five CARPHA Member States—Bahamas, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, and Turks & Caicos Islands—representing key public health sectors, including epidemiology, surveillance, laboratory science, and environmental health. Participants will gain advanced training in disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, and epidemiological data analysis using specialized tools like Epi Info (a statistical software suite designed for epidemiological data analysis and disease surveillance, developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC).
