In epidemiology rate is usually reserved for a ratio where the numerator and denominator have different qualities, e.g. deaths/population alive at a point in time. A proportion in epidemiology is usually a ratio where the numerator is a part of the denominator, so both have the same qualities, e.g. deaths due to one cause/deaths due to all causes.
