Eckhert, N. Lynn; Bennett, Nancy M.; Grande, David; Dandoy, Suzanne

Academic Medicine, v75 n7 suppl pS85-89 Jul 2000

Discussion of teaching preventive medicine through electives describes four prototypes of innovative programs: (1) population health, (2) international health, (3) American Medical Student Association opportunities, and (4) public health degree programs. These electives enable students to participate in preventive services through experiential learning in such areas as community health, continuous quality improvement, and interprofessional teamwork.
