Our Internal Medicine/Preventive Medicine Track is for MD graduates who have earned an MPH.
Program Overview
The internal medicine/preventive medicine track is a four-year program for trainees who have already earned an MPH. Graduates from this program receive additional training in population health and public health research in their PGY-4 year, and are board eligible in both internal medicine and general preventive medicine and public health.
The Emory Preventive Medicine Residency program has trained more than 40 residents in the specialty of Public Health and General Preventive Medicine since it became fully accredited in 1994. The program is dedicated to preparing and increasing the number of board-certified specialists who will be future leaders in research, education, and delivery of preventive medicine services and population health interventions.
With accreditation for a total of seven positions, the program has sufficient flexibility to address the specialized interests of residents with highly diverse backgrounds while also meeting the requirements of the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
The Emory Preventive Medicine Residency Program provides training in the uniquely strong public health and healthcare environment of Atlanta, the “Public Health Capital of the World.” Our environment includes nationally and internationally prominent agencies and organizations, such as U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Carter Center, Task Force for Global Health, American Cancer Society, Arthritis Foundation, CARE, and Global Health Alliance ATL.
