    The Ethiopia Field Epidemiology and Training program (EFETP) is a two years in-service training program in field epidemiology adapted from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program is designed to assist the Ministry of Health in building or strengthening health systems by recruiting promising health workers and building their competencies through on-the-job mentorship and training. The program has two main components: a classroom-teaching component (25%) and practical attachment or field placement component (75%). Completion of the above mentioned two components of the residency culminates in a final output of works, which is equivalent to a thesis for the graduate school of public health for partial fulfillment of a master degree in Field Epidemiology. These out puts of work have eight chapters, which includes report of outbreak investigations,surveillance data analysis, evaluation of a surveillance system, description of a health profile, scientific manuscripts for a peer review journal, abstracts for scientific presentation, proposal for epidemiological research project and another additional output report. To complete these outputs of work different methods were used. In chapter one two outbreaks were investigated one is Epidemiological description of unknown skin lesion outbreak in Jimma town, Ethiopia December 2019 and the other is Dengue Fever Outbreak Investigation in Millie Woreda, Zone one, Afar Region, Ethiopia, January 2020. In chapter two, three and four. Influenza Surveillance Data Analysis: Magnitude and distribution of Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) at Yekatit 12 Hospital Medical College 2009-2019, Addis Ababa, Evaluation of National Laboratory based Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System and Health Profile Description of Bahirdar Zuria Woreda, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia 2019 included respectively. In chapter five and six one Manuscript titled with Hospital based epidemiology of influenza in Ethiopia: Descriptive analysis of Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) 2009-2019, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: and three abstracts is done respectively. In chapter seven research work on Performance of Laboratory Professionals working on Malaria Microscopy at public and privet Health facilities of malaria elimination districts North Shewa Zone Amhara Region, and finally, in chapter eight additional output report on Rapid Assessment report on Malaria epidemic affected Woredas of Tigray region January 2020 included.

    Background: Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is caused by Leishmania parasites that infect mammals transmitted by Phlebotomine and mostly affects the poorest. VL distributed worldwide and prevalent in Ethiopia. Knowing the occurrence and risk factor is a remedy for prevention and control. The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with VL. Methodology: Case control study was used during October-November 2019 in Borena. A 1:2 Cases to controls were identified by case definition and 33 cases were included in the study. Participants >18years interviewed and caregivers of <18 were questioned for legitimacy. Epiinfo and SPSS were used for data entry and analysis. Primarily predictors were identified using chi-square at significant level P<0.05 with 95%CI, then candidate predictors were analysed using bivariate and multivariate analysis to identify associated factors. Result: Among 153 suspected cases, 9 suspected deaths reported; 33 (22%) cases and 3 deaths were verified for VL. Among 33 verified cases 15(45.5%) were in July 2019, in comparison of 4years data, there is surge cases in July-August 2019, 26(79%) of cases were from Dire, Attack Rate (AR) = 15/100,000, CFR=9.1%. Among all, 15-64year were highly affected with AR=19.3%. A case control engaged 99(100%) respondents and among all 93(93.9%) were male, 68(68.8%) were 15-64years. Adult education AOR = 30.438(2.378, 389.602), bed-net AOR=9.024 (1.763, 46.205) and walling AOR=0.052(0.004, 0.739) were associated factors with VL at 95%CI with p-value<0.05. Male 15-64years were highly susceptible. Level of education, ITNs and walling were associated factors with VL. Conclusion: Formulating policies and guidelines for male 15-64 years related vector control and awareness creation regarding feeding habit of sand fly, prevention and control were recommended. Awareness of community on prevention method; using repellents, ITNs utilization, and safe sleeping mechanisms are mandatory. Further investigation on the issue is best remedy to overcome future VL outbreak occurrence.

During the two years residents,the expected output for the partial fulfilment of master’s degree in field epidemiology were ;two diseases outbreak investigation ,public health surveillance analysis , surveillance, system evaluation, district health profile, narrative summery of disaster situation report ,manuscripts,abstract and additional outputs (EFETP Resident manval,2012.Until know my resident at AAU,schoolof public health and Tigray regional health bureau PHEM, I have conducted the following output s and activities the detail output that I have accomplished still know are summarized below. Chapter one: Cholera outbreak investigation and suspected measles outbreak investigation1.1 Cholera outbreak investigation in Hadnet district Mekelle special zone July, 2018. From this cholera investigation we use case control study with 50 cases and 100 controls. We identified drinking spring water is risk factor the outbreak, using latrine was preventive factor. 1.2 suspected Measles cases investigation.
