Training
The Alaska Native Epidemiology Center offers training workshops to build skills in core public health competencies within our Alaska Tribal Health System (ATHS).
Upcoming Trainings Sponsored by the ANTHC EpiCenter
Survey Design Training
July 29 & 30, 2025
9am – 12pm AKDT
(Virtual/Online via Zoom)
Surveys are everywhere, especially in the social, behavioral, and evaluation sciences. They are really easy to use. They are also really easy to mess up, making results useless. In this course, participants will learn the importance of good survey design, including when to use them, how to design them, and avoiding common mistakes.
Intro to Data Management
In-Person Training
Let us come to you!
Alaska Native EpiCenter’s Data Management team members, Julie Morris and Megan Ackerman, will travel to your location to provide an Intro to Data Management workshop from 10 a.m. to noon (All times are AKDT). After a lunch break, they’ll offer a four-hour open office session in the afternoon for technical assistance and support with your spreadsheets.
