The TN Food Safety CoE will begin hosting a quarterly online Community of Practice (TN-CoP) for our regional partners, starting with a series focused on WGS topics (TN-CoP: WGS Series).
- This will be a discussion-based and collaborative forum for getting information, posing questions, sharing successes, receiving support, sharing tips, and considering best practices.
- TN CoE partners will facilitate discussions pertaining to specific topics or go over actual investigations.
