"I will talk about setting up surveillance for infectious diseases among young children. For example, I will talk about hand, foot, and mouth disease that is commonly seen among young children. I would first start off with my goal for the system and then break it down with objectives, identify indicators that will be collected from this surveillance system, and set up descriptive EPI analysis to identify disease distribution among the children."

After reviewing I compile them into a report and send them out to appropriate teams for follow-ups. In grad school, a Semester-long project, I have been trained in constructing surveys and conducting surveillance. The project revolved around designing a survey to analyze the relationship between exercise and stress. The surveillance population of interest was the school of public health students and was done using Qualtrics. Emails with project descriptions were sent to a sample of students. The project was conducted for a period of 1 month. Data points from Qualtrics were extracted and analyzed using SAS 9.4 software. The results were then shared with the university’s Quality Enhancement Plan Team who is in charge of improving the well-being of students through innovative methods."
