Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the method used to find the causes of health outcomes and diseases in populations. In epidemiology, the patient is the community and individuals are viewed collectively. Epidemiologists investigate disease outbreaks and other threats and search for the cause of disease, who is at risk, and how to control the spread.
Epidemiologists might investigate environmental exposures, infectious diseases, injuries, non-infectious diseases, or even natural disasters.
