What to know
The CDC’s Division of Tuberculosis Elimination funds four Tuberculosis Centers of Excellence for Training, Education, and Medical Consultation (TB COEs) for the project period 2023-2027. The TB COEs are regionally assigned to cover all 50 states and the U.S. territories. The U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) are jointly served by all COEs.
TB COE activities
The TB COEs support domestic TB control and prevention efforts with a focus on two major activities:
- Increasing knowledge, skills, and abilities for TB prevention and control through communication, education, and training activities (TB Training and Education Products Webpage); and
- Improving sustainable evidence-based TB clinical practices and patient care through the provision of expert medical consultation.
