8AM - 6PM
Tracks: General and Focus tracks
Audience:
The General Track will cover A-Z of surveillance and is aimed at
people looking to get started with syndromic surveillance.
The Focus Track is geared toward people who have access to data
and an interest or experience in analyzing it. The topics will focus
on methods and exchange of experience.
Both sessions will be practical and provide take-away examples of
documents, methods, or software.
