Dr. Linda Quick served as the US CDC FETP Resident Advisor for China from 2016-2019 and continues to work with FETP as technical advisor in curriculum, mentor training, support for field activities and initiation of One Health Frontline pilots.

Linda joined CDC EIS in 1995 after completing a pediatric residency followed by an MPH and preventive medicine residency at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.

Linda worked in Sanyati, Zimbabwe for 1 year as a medical officer as well as a year in Dali Medical University in Yunnan, China. In addition, she worked as a medical coordinator for IRC, followed by a WHO consultancy during the war in Bosnia from 1992-1995.

Her primary interest initially at CDC was disease eradication, specifically polio eradication and measles elimination. During her early days working in polio eradication, she started the Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) teams in 1998. Linda is a strong believer that collaborative work across branches, divisions, agencies, and countries is the best way to fulfill the potential to impact global targets and have a lot more fun doing so.
