The mCC is a mechanism through which the
iHASE virtual network of public health agencies' applied epidemiology
and disease intervention practitioners can develop collaboration with
academia and affected communities to incubate exemplary public health

Certification/Credentialing |
The MEGACourse components on selected topics in Applied
Epidemiology and Biostatistical Methods of relevance to disease
control and prevention of HIV, STDs, TB & Viral Hepatitis
(non-enteric) are designed to supplement in-service/applied
Epidemiology training offered during IEPH/iHASE-accredited or jHASE
peer review fellowships. Pathways towards College of Applied
Epidemiology accreditation and
certification for completion of in-service/applied Epidemiology
internship/fellowship training, including supplementary MEGACourse

About CAE
- College
of Applied Epidemiology |
 (Applied
Epidemiology Accreditation & Credentialing/Certification) |
| |
| The
College of Applied Epidemiology is the Institutes of Epidemiology
& Public Health's primary accreditation and
credentialing/certification entity responsible for assurance
of the highest standard of qualifications & experience of
associates/affiliates of iHASE/Collaboration Centers, jHASE, and other IEPH-affiliated . To assure that
iHASE, jHASE and other IEPH-affiliated associates (Epidemiologists, Public Health
Practitioners, Consultants, Faculty, Fellowship Preceptors,
Internship/Fellowship candidates/trainees, Journal Peer-Reviewers, Project Plan
Reviewers, etc) meet the highest standards of academic qualifications and
applied experience, IEPH convened the College of Applied Epidemiology (CAE), as a
mechanism through which IEPH's applied Epidemiology training and capacity development
initiatives can benchmark the academic qualifications and applied
Epidemiology experience of iHASE and other IEPH-affiliated
associates. |

this end, all IEPH-affiliated project associates (Epidemiologists, Public Health
Practitioners, Consultants, Faculty, Fellowship Preceptors,
Fellowship candidates/Trainees, Journal Peer-Reviewers, Project Plan
Reviewers, etc) go through a
benchmarking and accreditation process, and qualified associates are
admitted to the College of Applied Epidemiology as Members or
Fellows. As an example of a key applied Epidemiology training and capacity development
initiative of IEPH, Inc. which can lead to accreditation as a Member or
Fellow of the College of Applied Epidemiology, iHASE Fellowships, Training and Capacity Development Programs in HIV/AIDS Surveillance
& Epidemiology are offered through in-service/on-the-job, short- and
long-term fellowships, and the MEGACourse (short courses/seminar series) tenable at iHASE
core activity projects organized as iHASE
