Additional Trainings & Resources

• Applied Epidemiology Competencies (AECs) toolkit. The toolkit provides resources for health department supervisors and individuals to assess applied epidemiology knowledge, skills and abilities across the AEC domains or competency areas. It can also be used to identify areas of professional development; inform performance reviews and training plans; and ultimately aid in recruitment, retention, and career growth. 
• Bird Flu Materials. CDC’s avian influenza A(H5N1) (bird flu) materials are available to assist partners in communicating about the ongoing, multistate outbreak. This digital toolkit includes precautions for people with occupational or recreational exposure to infected or possibly infected animals (poultry, dairy cows, and other animals in the United States), and what to do if you develop symptoms. Use the toolkit for sample social media, print materials, and web assets.
• Healthcare Access for People with Disabilities. Learn about health and healthcare disparities associated with disabilities, the health needs of people with disabilities, and how to accommodate them with this training. Earn free CE. 

Notes: Activities that offer continuing education (CE) from CDC are moving from TCEO to CDC TRAIN throughout 2024. If you do not already have a CDC TRAIN account, please create one. You will be able to access your previous CE records in TCEO through the end of 2025.
