We rely on them to safeguard our health as they respond rapidly to emergencies such as COVID-19, anthrax, measles, Zika virus, West Nile virus, the opioid epidemic, gun violence, multi-state foodborne illnesses, and natural disasters. Their work eliminates or limits disease transmission every day and prevents disease, disability, injury, and premature death.Our goal is to save lives and improve the public’s health by strengthening the 2,500+ members of CSTE and their public health agencies. We believe education plus funding for new, developmental, and under-resourced efforts will have the benefit of:Improving disease surveillance and epidemiologic practicethrough training and capacity developmentPromoting effective use of data to guide public health practices,thus saving lives and limiting the spread of debilitating disease and deathCSTEF also supports epidemiologists by developing competency standards, training new and experienced professionals, introducing new areas of professional competence such as informatics, and expanding into emerging areas that include hospital-associated infections, substance abuse, violence, injury, diseases impacted by climate change and more.
