BARRETO, Fernanda Khouri et al. Technology transfer during the COVID-19 pandemic: report on the first face-to-face practical training course in Brazil. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.2, e2022614. Epub 18-Jul-2023. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s2237-96222023000200017.
The objective of this report was to describe the first face-to-face course aimed at training public health professionals in performing real-time genomic surveillance during the pandemic period. Experience report on a theoretical-practical course focusing on genomic research and surveillance, including mobile sequencing technologies, bioinformatics, phylogenetics and epidemiological modeling. There were 162 participants in the event and it was the first major face-to-face training course conducted during the COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil. No cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection was detected among the participants at the end of the event, suggesting the safety and effectiveness of all safety measures adopted. The results of this experience suggest that it is possible to conduct professional training safely during pandemics, as long as all safety protocols are followed.
