Preventive Medicine 2000: Changing Contexts and Opportunities.

McClary, Alicia M.; Marantz, Paul; Taylor, Margaret H.

Academic Medicine, v75 n7 suppl pS22-27 Jul 2000

A survey of 142 U.S. and Canadian medical schools compared medical school curricula since 1991, especially in schools moving to the new interdisciplinary format. Thirty- five schools had retained preventive medicine teaching as a separate course; 25 schools integrated preventive medicine concepts into many courses; and 10 schools appeared to have lost preventive medicine in the curriculum change.
