Epidemiological Quotient [Epi Quo] 

I have coined this term and it can be measured "to assess the knowledge of the doctors about the medicine and health in the social context".

Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo can be explained like If a doctor has good knowledge about the treatment of a illness but if he/she doesnt know that what is the problem statement of that disease in the society it can be said that He/She has low Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo. A good doctor knows the treatment and social pathology of that disease also(In other words, good in Epidemiology). eg. If doctor knows the treatment of diabetes but he doesnt know what all factors like Genetics, age, sex, socio economic status affect the chances of one getting Diabetes or what is the prevalence of it in his society then that doctor can be called that he has low epi quo. Knowing all this means Higher Epidemiological Quotient.

epidemonology 

The study of who and what gets blamed for an epidemic.

Whether it was the complacent president, a de-funded response system, or simply "Patient Zero" who got off the plane from Beijing, coughing, epidemonology would inevitably follow.

epidoomiology 

The projection of worst-case scenarios in the face of an epidemic.

The government pressed him for an estimate of how many could die. He didn't want to indulge in epidoomiology, even knowing that the numbers were staggering
