India accounts 17% of the world’s population but its total share of global disease burden is 21%.With the epidemiological transition, the challenge of the public health system is to deal with a high burden of non-communicable diseases, while still continuing the battle against communicable diseases and injuries. In equalities in access to health care by socio economic status make priority setting crucial in India. Accordingly the role of epidemiologists has gained prominence. Still there is a wide gap in demand –supply of epidemiologists in the country and there is a need for training epidemiologists in the country. Different epidemiology training programs in India are discussed with an evaluation of demand supply analysis.
