The ETC is the entity that provides guidance, technical assistance and administrative support to CREATE study teams in their education and training efforts at the ground level.  Our study areas are diverse and existing; thus we have staff in each of our sites to assist with
responsibilities of keeping training current and appropriate for our talented team members.  We also are responsible for the education processes of CREATE—this entails providing resources, facilitating flow of information between our home at Johns Hopkins University and in-country education
and training coordinators, as well as maintaining a forum in which each study can voice their education and training needs.


 To keep the our health care professionals updated, ETC core also coordinates needs assessments and provides training opportunities for nominated staff at the Johns Hopkins University (School of Public Health, School of Medicine and School of Nursing).  On a continual basis education and training programs and materials are monitored by the manager of the core, and evaluated for appropriateness—and are often disseminated to
the various sites.
