Adequacy of Training in Preventive Medicine and Public Health: A National Survey of Residency Graduates.

Stein, David H.; Salive, Marcel E.

Academic Medicine, v71 n4 p375-80 Apr 1996

A survey of 797 preventive medicine residency graduates found that improvements are needed in the curricula for health administration, environmental health, health education, and occupational medicine. Women found their training less adequate than men did in all areas except clinical preventive medicine. Graduates tended to practice ultimately in topic areas emphasized during training.
