The public health school created the Emory COVID-19 Response Collaborative to support Georgia’s health department in planning coordination, outbreak response and evaluation; training and deployment of public health professionals; and surveillance, research and monitoring.
Emory and the state will recruit faculty, students and staff from the public health school to investigate COVID-19 outbreaks as they arise. The school also created the Rollins COVID-19 Epidemiology Fellows program to train and place epidemiologists in Georgia’s health districts.
Allison Chamberlain, PhD, director of Rollins’ Center for Public Health Preparedness and Research, is leading the collaborative.
