An Epidemiologist is a scientist who studies the transmission and control 
of epidemic diseases in populations. Most are Medical doctors with some 
holding a Masters degree along with their MD degree. A solid educational 
background would nclude Mathematics (Calculus level), an average of 15 
hours of course work in the field of Epidemiology, Demography, and 
Research design. Epidemiologists work for Medical institutions, 
Universities, the Military, and other government agencies. For additional 
information, you may call the Society for Epidemiologic Research at
