Preventive Medicine is the specialty of medical practice that focuses on the health of individuals, communities, and defined populations. Its goal is to protect, promote, and maintain health and well-being and to prevent disease, disability, and death. The School offers residency programs for physicians in General Preventive Medicine and Occupational Medicine. Both programs are two years in duration. The first year is primarily an academic year in which the MPH degree is earned. The second year is a practicum year during which residents fulfill rotation requirements. |
