CSTE, CDC and APHL have collaborated to reformat all of the Nationally Notifiable Conditions Position Statements.  Subject matter experts (e.g., epidemiologists, laboratorians, and informaticians) should visit the forum to provide revisions and comments on the position statements.

CSTE has implemented new and improved forums for all of our members and website users.  Please feel free to visit the forums and discuss any public health related topic you wish!

CSTE and CDC are pleased to release a newly developed toolkit to help epidemiologists and other public health practitioners understand and incorporate the CDC/CSTE Competencies for Applied Epidemiologists in Governmental Public Health Agencies (AECs) into everyday practice.
