Epidemiologist

Duties and responsibilities:

Epidemiologists study the frequency and distribution of diseases within human populations and environments. Specifically, they measure the incidence of disease occurrence and relate it to different characteristics of populations and environments. Epidemiologists perform research, education, and public health practice in universities, government agencies, international organizations, and private corporations. Epidemiologists often:
  • ·         Work on developing or refining methods of measuring and evaluating disease occurrences.
  • ·         Develop and recommend public health policy.
  • ·         Study or research chronic diseases, infectious diseases, diseases outbreaks, injuries, occupations, and environments.

Average Salary: $30,000-$50,000

Educational requirements:

Students should take the most challenging high school courses (including AP or IB courses) available in science, math, and English.

Epidemiologists have, as a minimum, master’s degrees in public health. undergraduate requirements  for admissions into public graduate programs vary by schools but usually include strong backgrounds in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and or statistics.

I Would not want to be a epidemiologists, because I’m not interested in this, and I’m not good at health.
