What EIS Officers Do
EIS officers serve at the forefront of public health, protecting Americans and the global community, while training under the guidance of seasoned mentors. When disease outbreaks or other public health threats emerge, EIS officers investigate, identify the cause, rapidly implement control measures, and collect evidence to recommend preventive actions.
EIS officer Julia Petras (2021) and LLS fellow Maureen Ty (2021) obtain samples during a follow-up investigation of a multi-state aromatherapy-associated melioidosis outbreak.
