Overview

Here you will learn to design epidemiologic investigations, analyze data, and translate findings so that they can be put into action to promote population-wide health. The graduates of the Epidemiology program at the University of Minnesota work locally and globally in government, academic settings, within organizations, and in the biomedical industry.

Careers

The national job market for epidemiologists is extremely strong. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment for epidemiologists is expected to increase by 24 percent over the next 10 years, primarily due to an increase in demand for epidemiologic analysis in preventative health care, chronic disease and emergency response.

Epidemiologists work at both the individual and community levels to translate medical and laboratory data into population trends. They typically plan and direct public health research studies, collect and analyze data to investigate health issues, communicate their findings to health practitioners, policy makers and the public, and manage public health programs.

Beyond investigating the cause of a disease, epidemiologists also develop intervention strategies to prevent disease and promote health in the following areas:

Infectious disease

Chronic disease

Bioterrorism/emergency response

Maternal and child health

Social and behavioral health

Nutrition

Substance abuse and/or oral health
