The EIS Conference is a primary forum for EIS officers to present their epidemiologic activities in a broad EIS annual update. National and international participants represent EIS officers, their mentors, EIS alumni, and public health professionals.
The EIS Conference 2017 included a special session featuring EIS officers describing their work responding to the Zika virus outbreak, Laboratory Leadership Service (LLS) fellows reporting on their efforts to advance laboratory biosafety and quality, and a media-availability session with EIS officers fresh off of the front lines of battling emerging health threats. Other sessions include diseases spread from animals to people, STDs and HIV, environmental and occupational exposures, emerging infections, disease outbreaks associated with healthcare facilities, foodborne outbreaks, child health, drug-related illness, and unintentional injuries.
