Preventive medicine education is a perfect compliment to healthcare providers who work in the public health sector. Part of a fellowship program, preventive medicine education offers the most up-to-date knowledge and training by leading experts of the field.

Medical students who successfully graduate from medical school or medical residents may apply for a fellowship in preventive medicine education; however, qualification requisites vary depending on individual educational aspirations.

Preventive medicine education curriculums may encompass a broad spectrum of training and academic programs, which may include disease prevention and health promotion; control and prevention of infectious disease; observation, immunization and children’s health; community health; quality improvement of healthcare and patient protection; responsiveness to bioterrorism and disasters; local, federal and state public health practices; and occupational and environmental health medicine.

Furthermore, preventive medicine education programs and courses may vary in duration and cost; and are usually offered at traditional medical universities and colleges.

As an added note, preventive medicine education in the alternative medicine field integrates wellness programs and training to naturopaths, holistic practitioners, and other related medical specialists as well.
