The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual
A NEW AND ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR THE PRACTICE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PUBLIC HEALTH
The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual is a definitive guide to investigating acute public health events on the ground and in real time. Assembled and written by experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as other leading public health agencies, it offers current and field-tested guidance for every stage of an outbreak investigation -- from identification to intervention and other core considerations along the way.
Modeled after Michael Gregg's seminal book Field Epidemiology , this CDC manual ushers investigators through the core elements of field work, including many of the challenges inherent to working with multiple state and federal agencies or multinational organizations; legal considerations; and effective utilization of an incident-management approach.
Additional coverage
· Updated guidance for new tools in field investigations, including the latest technologies for data collection and incorporating data from geographic information systems (GIS)
· Tips for investigations in unique settings, including healthcare and community-congregate sites
· Advice for responding to different types of outbreaks, including acute enteric disease; suspected biologic or toxic agents; and outbreaks of violence, suicide, and other forms of injury
For the ever-changing public health landscape, The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual offers a new, authoritative resource for effective outbreak response to acute and emerging threats.

I reviewed this book for North Wing Magazine.
As somebody with a keen interest in public health, I was excited to read this book.
However, none of the book’s practical solutions could be applied to global framework, limiting the book’s appeal. I wanted to enjoy this book, but I was left disappointed. Full article below:
