Impact

Since 1972, CDC has trained approximately 450 general preventive medicine and public health practitioners. These professionals have learned how to link their skills in clinical medicine with population-based health.

Graduates assume a variety of leadership positions at CDC, including serving as director and deputy director of the agency. They also serve in leadership roles at state/local health departments, universities, and private firms.

Preventive Medicine Grand Rounds

The Preventive Medicine Grand Rounds is a lecture series that works with PMR/F. The series focuses on applying systems-based approaches to prepare public health leaders to address major population health issues. The goal is to provide a learning forum with real life public health projects that reinforce leadership and management skills.

This series is designed for:

  • Preventive medicine residents and faculty
  • Public health leaders and managers
  • Physicians, registered nurses, and veterinarians; and
  • Health practitioners working to improve the health of populations

The final Preventive Medicine Grand Rounds session will be held on June 5, 2024.
