中美洲现场流行病学培训方案是一个公共卫生能力建设培训方案，旨在培养公共卫生系统各级的高素质现场流行病学家。该项目始于2000年，是1998年底米奇飓风和乔治飓风造成破坏后在中美洲和加勒比六个国家重建公共卫生基础设施的努力的一部分。自那时以来，中美洲对外教育培训方案已从疾病预防控制中心管理的一个区域培训方案演变为若干国家对外教育培训方案，每个国家都承担其国内方案的所有权。该课程以能力为基础，分为三级培训金字塔，与地方、地区和中央各级卫生系统的需求相对应。每一级的受训人员将大约20%的时间花在课堂上，80%的时间花在实地，在该计划的毕业生指导下实施他们所学到的知识。FETP学员应对了多种自然灾害，并进行了数百次调查，包括监测评估，疫情应对和计划研究。CA FETP的毕业生也在各自的部委担任有影响力的职位。随着各国迎接将其方案制度化的挑战，社区保健教育和培训方案的概念将越来越被视为可持续公共卫生能力发展的一个模式。
The Central America Field Epidemiology Training Program (CA FETP) is a public health capacity-building training programme aimed at developing high-caliber field epidemiologists at various levels of the public health system. It began in 2000 as part of the effort to rebuild public health infrastructure in six Central American and Caribbean countries following the devastation of Hurricanes Mitch and Georges in late 1998. Since then, the CA FETP has evolved from one regional training programme managed by CDC to several national FETPs with each country assuming ownership of its domestic programme. The curriculum is competency-based, and is divided into a three-tiered training pyramid that corresponds to the needs at the local, district and central levels of the health system. Trainees at each tier spend about 20% of their time in the classroom and 80% in the field implementing what they have learned while being mentored by graduates of the programme. FETP trainees have responded to multiple natural disasters and conducted hundreds of investigations including surveillance evaluations, outbreak responses and planned studies. Also graduates of the CA FETP are assuming influential positions in their respective ministries. As countries meet the challenge of institutionalizing their programmes, the CA FETP concept will increasingly be recognized as a model for sustainable public health capacity development.
