PHTCs enhance skills in epidemiology through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Courses often include:
- Field Training: Hands-on experience in real-world settings, such as conducting field surveys or outbreak investigations. - Case Studies: Analysis of past public health events to understand the application of epidemiological methods. - Data Analysis: Training in the use of statistical software and techniques for interpreting public health data. - Communication Skills: Workshops on effectively communicating findings to both the public and policymakers.
