·       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.

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
