MOPECE training modules in epidemiology

Details

The MOPECE (Módulos de Principios de Epidemiología para el Control de Enfermedades) training modules, now in their second edition (2001), continue to be a training instrument in basic epidemiology for local health professionals and teams to promote the use of epidemiology in the management of health services and the implementation of practical responses to the daily health problems in the population.

The objectives of MOPECE are to:

  • Train local health professionals and teams in the systematic application of basic concepts, methods, and techniques for the control of diseases and health problems of the population.
  • Provide a common language for the development of communication and epidemiological information networks among multidisciplinary local health teams, including interconnected public health surveillance systems.
  • Strengthen local health services in their organizational and response capacities to epidemiological alerts.
  • Develop and strengthen analytical capacities in the practice of epidemiology in local health management.

The MOPECE training modules are comprised of 6 units that cover topics such as health and diseases in the population, measuring health conditions and diseases, surveillance in public health, field epidemiology and research, and control of diseases in the population.

The second edition of the MOPECE modules are available in Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
