How does insufficient training in communication skills affect Epidemiology?
Effective communication is vital for epidemiologists to convey their findings to policymakers, stakeholders, and the public. However, many epidemiology programs do not provide adequate training in science communication. This deficiency can lead to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and reduced impact of epidemiological research. Improving communication skills is essential for translating research findings into actionable public health policies.
