About
The India EIS Training Programme is a competency-based specialized training in epidemiology in which EIS officers develop epidemiological skills while working under field conditions in a public health programme or a state health department for two years under the technical guidance of a placement supervisor and experienced mentor. It is modeled on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Program, operational since 1951. The US CDC EIS Program has successfully trained more than 3000 epidemiologists, many of whom are at the forefront of public health at the US CDC, WHO and other international organizations.
