PROGRAMS AND POLICY SUPPORT

DRSi SURVEILLANCE TRAINING SERIES

The PPS Department continues to promote the training series provided by our Air Force and Army counterparts.  Participants from all services are eligible to register for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits offered by the U.S. Army Public Health Center; Nurses may use the CME certificate as documentation for nursing CEs.

NMCPHC through our NEPMUs can provide training on an ad hoc and on an as needed basis, to support Navy and Marine Corps specific disease surveillance topics in priority areas.

Please see our "Archived Training Directory"  below for previously held sessions.
