BACKGROUND:
Integrated disease surveillance project was launched in November 2004 under Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare to strengthen disease surveillance and response to epidemic.
The IDSP has recently recruited candidates from Medical and Public Health background
from different streams as epidemiologists. Epidemiologist working for IDSP would be able to
provide us a good understanding of disease burden by analyzing data and will also act as a
resource person for planning disease control program. Most of the recruited epidemiologist
are either MBBS graduate or MPH or Masters of social sciences with some experience in
health. Thus there is an urgent need to provide in-service training and continued support to
them. Therefore it was proposed to introduce Diploma in Epidemiology in distance learning
mode for the newly recruited epidemiologists with duration of 12 – 18 months.
With reference to this, National Health System Resource Center has given the responsibility
to Regional Resource Centre for North Eastern States to impart training to Epidemiologists
from various states of North-Eastern zone. The First contact program-cum-induction training

VENUE OF THE WORKSHOP:
The Regional Resource Centre for NE States, Guwahati has fully equipped training hall with
full air conditioning. The core committee decided to conduct training here in this institute due
to its central location, which is very near to Gauhati Medical College and availability of
residential facilities which allows for more effective communication and enabling
environment for learning. This arrangement was such that it builds a sense of community in
the group and creates bonds between the participants. The workshop environment was
warm, friendly, comfortable, secure, and close. The group was thought as one body, with
trainer and participants as members of the body. The field sessions were conducted in field
with each group going to respective places of learning like Sub-centre, Primary Health
Centre, Sub-district hospital, District Health Laboratory, SSU, DSU, Outbreak investigation in
villages and Entomological survey in slum areas.
PARTICIPANTS:
Total 08 participants (epidemiologist) attended the program. They were from various states
of North-East region and were posted at the respective states.
