Over the past 40 years, CDC helped establish Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs) throughout the world, starting with Thailand in 1980. The map and timeline show when FETPs began in countries and in regions, as well as the dates when FETP networks were established. Additionally, Canada’s FETP launched independently in 1975 and CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) launched in 1951.
