Epidemiology is the study of disease patterns and risk factors across populations — outbreak investigation, incidence and prevalence calculations, and surveillance design. It's the core discipline for Epidemiologists and Public Health Officers running India's disease-surveillance and vaccination programs through bodies like NCDC and state health departments, and it extends to Veterinary Doctors tracking zoonotic disease spread. The path in is typically an MD in Community Medicine or an MPH, followed by fieldwork on live outbreak response.
