Since 2004, the CDC-funded Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (FELTP) has been enhancing epidemiology and surveillance capacity in Kenya. Global Programs Kenya, a designated FELTP field placement site, is currently hosting Dr. Fred Mutisya, a distinguished medical doctor and AI developer.Â
Mutisya has spearheaded projects that include an AI-powered platform for antimicrobial resistance prediction which won the 2023 Vivli/Wellcome AMR Surveillance Open Data Re-Use Data Challenge. His experience includes managing a 150-bed hospital, supervising numerous health centers, and contributing to HIV technical support, achievements that earned him the 2020 PEPFAR Heroes award.Â
During his two-year placement as a FELTP resident, Mutisya aims to further refine his skills in epidemiology and research.Â
