According to ThinkQuest An Epidemiologists is someone who researches bacteria, viruses, and their conditions with the goal of improving human health. They attempt to advance the knowledge of living organisms that affect human health that may harm people. Epidemiologists work in laboratory research, medical investigations, specialized writings, medicine development, and other related activities (ExToxNet). This type of science work interest me because of the environment that these scientist get to work in. Working with other people and collaborating ideas and information sounds interesting. Along with working with others, a job that deals with math and science appeals to me because I enjoy working with numbers and discovering the answers to problems. Helping prevent and cure disease, that would save lives, would be a rewarding career that I would enjoy.According to (LifeWorks), Epidemiologists work in hospitals or laboratories everyday with several other people. This type of environment appeals to me because I believe that I do my best work the hardest when I have others around me to check my work and contribute information. I am able to communicate information and ideas easily orally and through writing, which is needed in such a job that information must be shared clearly with coworkers and others. My goals include having a successful and rewarding career and making a lot of money. A Epidemiologists would be an excellent career because it fulfills both of those goals.
To become an Epidemiologist, one must go through a series of educational processes. Most Epidemiologists are required to have a high school degree and a master's degree from a college, usually specializing in biology or medicine.
Not only is this knowledge necessary for the present, but it also helps future generations to expand on discoveries to better help people in need . Some epidemiologists may need a Ph.D. or medical degree, depending on the work they perform. (StateUniversity)Through research and discoveries, Epidemiologists contribute a lot to society. Past research has resulted in advances in treatment and prevention of many diseases. Researches done by these scientists continue to build the foundation for new vaccines, drugs, and treatment procedures. Without them, there would be no advancements in medical knowledge necessary for treatment and prevention of diseases. A job in the Medical Science field would be perfect for a person like me because of the qualities necessary and the everlasting reward of helping those in medical need.
