National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center (NETEC)

As one of the original components of the NSPS, the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center’s (NETEC) mission is to set the gold standard for special pathogen preparedness and response across health systems in the U.S. with the goals of driving promising practices, closing knowledge gaps, and developing innovative resources.

NETEC comprises faculty and staff from the University of Nebraska Medical Center/Nebraska Medicine, Emory University, and NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue. All work diligently to share their knowledge with health care, EMS, and public health personnel through consultations, education, and research.

NETEC led the NSPS Strategy development and implementation to shape the future of special pathogen care coordination in the United States. Now, NETEC serves as the Coordinating Body providing enabling services to NSPS.
