QUESTION 21 OF 30

What is the most fascinating disease you have studied in your epidemiology career thus far?

There are so many different types of diseases you have studied over the years it may be hard to narrow it down to just one study you were part of. Choose one field that spoke to you personally. Tell the interviewer about a study you were a part of and how you played a part in it. Nutrition, physical activity, and obesity, prescription drug overdose, teen pregnancy and tobacco use are a few topics you may choose to talk about.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I would say Monkeypox would be the most fascinating disease I have investigated. The disease is not an STI but is seen through the STI lens by the community. So, I really like educating my case and close contacts about the disease.

Marcie's Feedback

Interesting! What do you mean by the statement that the disease isn't an STI yet is seen through the STI lens by the community? Can you explain this further? Remember, the more information you can give, the more meaningful and memorable your answer will be to the interviewer. Show off your knowledge!
