Epidemiologist

An epidemiologist studies how disease is distributed through the community, as well as the causes and initial location of these diseases.  This information is used to evaluate, plan, manage, control, prevent the spread of disease.  An epidemiologist is an influencer, and often has a public voice in working towards controlling and preventing disease, working closely with public health departments.
