The Epidemiology Monitor was founded in 1980 by Roger H. Bernier, Ph.D, MPH, who served as Editor and Publisher for  over 40 years while working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2022, EpiMonitor was acquired by Katelyn Jetelina, MPH PhD who is known to many as the voice behind Your Local Epidemiologist. Then in 2025 the EpiMonitor was acquired from Dr. Jetelina by the employees of the EpiMonitor to ensure that the publication will continue long into the future.

The EpiMonitor was originally just epidemiology for epidemiologists. We distilled and summarized the latest epidemiological news, provided a comprehensive list of job opportunities and collaborations, list upcoming conferences and professional development opportunities to advance careers, and highlights news on epidemiologists. Then in 2025 as the changes were occurring in the US public health landscape, we made the decision to expand our reach by adding biostatisticians along with other public health professionals to our target audience.

This community is refuge from our broad and often siloed field by providing a space for critical discussions, and opportunities for continued education and training. As always we continue to list current job openings, events, books, and more both here and in our monthly newsletter.
