A well-trained workforce is essential for effective epidemiological practices. Policy reforms should focus on:
- Education and Training: Creating comprehensive educational programs at universities and public health institutions to train new epidemiologists.
- Professional Development: Offering continuous professional development opportunities to keep current epidemiologists updated with the latest methodologies and technologies.
- Certification and Accreditation: Establishing certification and accreditation programs to standardize the qualifications and competencies of epidemiologists.
