Epidemiologist

Duties and Responsibilities:
Epidemiologists study the frequency and distribution of disease within human population and environments. Specially, they measure the incidence of disease occurrence and relate it to different characteristics of population and environment. 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, disease 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 degree in public health. Undergraduate requirements for admissions into public health graduate programs vary by schools but usually include strong backgrounds in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and or statistics.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
I rather not like to be an Epidemiologist because that’s not my dream of becoming when I’m older. I want to be something different than being an Epidemiologist
