Some of the key responsibilities of epidemiologists include conducting surveillance and monitoring of diseases, analysing data to identify patterns and trends, designing and implementing studies to investigate the causes along with risk factors of diseases and collaborating with other healthcare professionals to develop interventions to prevent as well as control diseases.
