A collaboration between the Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance and Wellcome Connecting Science, the programme will apply the concept of forward training and equip professionals who interface with pathogen genomics data science with the skills needed to train others.
This FREE course will provide participants with methods and techniques for training adult learners in analysis of genomics as applied in clinical management and public health. It integrates pedagogical aspects with pathogen genomic analysis, application and interpretation for management and surveillance of infectious disease. Participants will develop deeper knowledge of teaching and facilitation methodologies that they can later apply in their respective fields and work environments. Using a project-based learning approach, participants will be mentored on how to build their own training materials and design their own training. A combination of online training resources and in-person sessions will be followed by ongoing mentorship and network building activities.

Prerequisites:
We invite applicants from research, healthcare and training professionals who are involved in any aspect of genomics or data science, and who are interested in building their capabilities to effectively share their knowledge and skills with others focused on pathogen genomic analysis, application and interpretation in management of infectious disease. This includes clinical, biomedical, and public health scientists, epidemiologists, bioinformaticians.
Applicants may also be involved in genomics technologies and computational biology training programmes, and interested in developing training resources for potential application of pathogen genomics in healthcare and public health.
Learning objectives:
At the end of the course, trainees will be able to:
* Explain the flow of pathogen genomic data/information from generation to interpretation in healthcare and public health settings.
* Design training and communication formats by applying evidence-based learning science methodologies.
* Identify appropriate training resources for use in training pathogen genomics and surveillance tools.
* Deliver pathogen genomic data science training to professionals working in genomic epidemiology, surveillance and outbreak investigation.
* Evaluate the self-developed training and knowledge sharing of pathogen genomic data science.
