Some of the most important work in public health happens long before an outbreak makes the news.

Today, on #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay, we celebrate the people working behind the scenes to detect signals, investigate outbreaks and strengthen preparedness.

Their message to anyone considering a field deployment: if you get the chance, do it.

Field epidemiologists often work in challenging conditions, where time and resources are limited.

Mobile labs are transforming their work by bringing diagnostics to outbreak sites and cutting wait times from days to hours.

This Thursday is #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay

All pandemics begin as local outbreaks. Field epidemiologists are uniquely equipped with the skills for early detection and control of these diseases locally and after they become pandemics.

Happy #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay #WFED2025! Field epi remains one of the most rewarding and challenging (in a good way) careers I can think of.
Field epidemiologists provide the evidence necessary for action, field epidemiology is the backbone of responding to a public health emergency.

🔬 Today is World Field Epidemiology Day.

Field epidemiologists are often first to detect an outbreak, turning data into action before most of us know a threat exists.

Including our very own CEO, our resident epidemiologist.
