Resident - Driven Project Tracking Tool for FETP Programs

The Summary:

An application collaboratively developed by the US CDC's Global Health Center.

Details:

The Resident-Driven Program Tracking Tool (ReDPeTT) is an instrument created for the Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) to monitor the progress of persons-in-training toward the completion of their graduation requirements. FETP has three levels of training: Frontline, Intermediate and Advanced; with increasing training duration and complexity. Frontline training lasts 3 months, Intermediate 9 to 12 months, and Advanced 24 months

Our Impact:

ReDPeTT addresses FETP tracking and reporting challenges:

  • Field-focus makes tracking residents' activities difficult.

  • Understaffed programs report activities less timely and completely

  • Multiple reporting requirementsgiven collaborative nature of program

  • Language diversitymakes reporting difficult

ReDPeTT is able to resolve these challenges.
