Competencies for One Health Field Epidemiology (COHFE)—a framework to train the epidemiology workforce
This innovative framework emerged from a multisectoral, collaborative, inclusive, and iterative process involving international animal, human, and environment health and field epidemiology training experts. Countries and regions can also use the framework to establish new, comprehensive One Health field epidemiology training programs or upgrade existing programs to incorporate the One Health approach. This framework is anticipated to pave the way for a more holistic approach to training the global community of field epidemiologists in all health sectors to meet the demands of our evolving health landscape.
