This episode summarizes a discussion from our community, where a member wanted to learn more about the role of an epidemiologist.  She has just completed her undergraduate degree in life sciences and is interested in pursuing her master of public health, specifically in epidemiology.  She asked for feedback, comments, and feedback from other epidemiologists in the group.  This was a popular discussion, and one that I felt everyone could benefit from in the form of this podcast episode.  It is so important to have an understanding of the role of epidemiology, even if you’re not an epidemiologist.
