- Individual patient care: Epidemiologists focus on population-level data and patterns, rather than individual patient care.
- Animal populations: Epidemiologists primarily study human populations, not animal populations.
- Environmental science: While epidemiologists may consider environmental factors in their studies, they do not typically focus on environmental science as a primary area of research.
- Laboratory experiments: Epidemiologists typically conduct observational studies and analyze existing data, rather than conducting laboratory experiments.
- Clinical trials: Epidemiologists are involved in the design and analysis of clinical trials, but they do not typically conduct them directly.
