The Resident-Driven Program Tracking Tool (ReDPeTT) is an instrument created for the Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) to monitor the progress of persons-in-training toward the completion of their graduation requirements
FETP has three levels of training: Frontline, Intermediate and Advanced; with increasing training duration and complexity. Frontline training lasts 3 months, Intermediate 9 to 12 months, and Advanced 24 months
ReDPeTT addresses FETP tracking and reporting challenges:
It is a tracking system using real-time web technologies. Residents enter their own project data in a familiar system reducing staff workload and FETP staff can review in real time. Finally, the modifiable user interface can translate to whatever language is needed for the program
We would like to acknowledge the contributions of the FETP staff in developing ReDPeTT.
