The Egyptian Field Epidemiology Training Program (E-FETP) is a competency-based training and service program in applied epidemiology and public health that builds the core competencies of public health epidemiologists in communicable disease surveillance and response. FETPs have been modeled and developed in many countries worldwide after the success of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) that was first created by CDC in 1951. Approximately 80% of graduates work in government in their home countries and many fill leadership positions in the public health systems. The E-FETP was the second in the Eastern Mediterranean region. It started in 1993, in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease control and Prevention. In 2000, the program's success led to the establishment of the Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance (DES) which is responsible for disease surveillance, outbreak investigation & response, training, and the development of the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS). Now FETP is a principle component of the DES in the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP). Up to year, 2022, 21 cohorts of the advanced level with total 147 officers have been graduated. In addition, 1 cohort of the intermediate level (16 officers) and 5 cohort of Basic level (Public health Empowerment Program – Basic Field Epidemiology (PHEP-BFE)) with a total of 174 graduates of sanitarians. All graduates provide essential epidemiologic services to the country. E-FETP works in close collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease control and Prevention, Training in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network (TEPHINET) and Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET).
