An epidemiologist is a public health professional who studies the distribution, causes and risks of health-related events in a population. A field epidemiologist responds to urgent public health events on the ground and in real time. This means mobilizing on a moment's notice to go to the front line of public health emergencies and urgent events, such as disease outbreaks and natural disasters. 2, record 1, English, - field%20epidemiologist

Un épidémiologiste est un professionnel de la santé publique qui étudie la distribution, les causes et les risques des incidents de santé au sein d’une population. Un épidémiologiste de terrain intervient dans le cadre d’incidents urgents de santé publique sur le terrain et en temps réel. Il doit donc se mobiliser au pied levé pour être en première ligne des urgences de santé publique et autres urgences, comme les éclosions de maladies et les catastrophes naturelles. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pid%C3%A9miologiste%20de%20terrain
