Abstract

The epidemic of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and the threat of pandemic have increased rapidly. Due to
the COVID-19 crisis and the Public Health Emergency of International Concern, it is crucial to train and secure health and
medical personnel with field epidemiological expertise in preparing and responding to infectious diseases. The need to quickly respond to all ministries and stakeholder queries through cooperation between related ministries and agencies, strengthen capabilities for response professional personnel response, and train preliminary personnel has been very important, and due to the rapid emergence of diseases the need to reorganize the education and training process has also been raised. Based on the needs and experiences required to prepare and response to health threats by professional personnel of infectious diseases, we urgently reorganized the process and system of education to strengthen the professional competence of Epidemiological Investigation Officers. The executives course was expanded to ‘strengthen the control and prevention officer’s competence’, the ‘process of strengthening the competence of frontline workers (Field Epidemiology Training Program ? Frontline)’ was reorganized into the ‘process of fostering response personnel and strengthening competence for preparing and responding communicable diseases’. It is important to reorganize the education and training process through continuous improvement of training specialists in order to effectively respond to new types of infectious diseases and bioterrorism, as well as reorganize and review manpower planning in the framework of the national health and medical system in the future.
