Public health is about promoting well-being and improving health among populations, not just dealing with the illnesses of individuals. We look at the impact of social, economic, political and environmental factors on the health of populations, and we examine the role of individual behaviour.聽 As such, the goal of 大发彩票平台鈥檚 Public Health and Preventive Medicine residency training program is to prepare physicians for a variety of leadership roles in population and public health, as well as in academic and research settings.聽
