What this is
CDC TRAIN covers epidemiology, outbreak investigation, immunisation, biosafety and data analysis in health. The catalogue is large and quality varies by course, with the best at professional level.
Registration is international, so no US work or study status is needed. The continuing education credits, however, are tied to US licences and do not count in the Georgian system.
Who it is for
Epidemiologists, public health specialists and medical researchers.
How to get it
- 1Open CDC and create a free account. No card is asked for at any point.
