All these outputs are expected in the residency time which is submitted to graduate school of public health for partial fulfilment of master degree in Field Epidemiology. These are; diseases outbreak investigation, public health surveillance data analysis, surveillance system evaluation, Health profile description, manuscript, abstracts, and protocol/ proposal for epidemiologic research project and additional work like weekly bulletin. The document is organized in eight chapters. Chapter One: - The first chapter contains two outbreak investigation. The first was malaria outbreakm investigation conducted in Elu Gelan woreda of west shoa zone Oromia, Ethiopia from 24/2019 – 16/2020 WHO week in which 2099 malaria cases and no deaths were identified and the second was measles outbreak investigation occurred in Caliya woreda of west shoa zone Oromia, Ethiopia from 50 -1/2019 WHO weeks in which 16 cases and 2 deaths were identified.
