公共卫生与预防医学

申请人要求：

• Possess an MD or DO from a medical school in the United States accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education or the American Osteopathic Association
• Completion of an ACGME accredited residency program in a primary care specialty (internal medicine, family medicine, or pediatrics) is preferred. Physicians with career interests in public health who will have successfully completed a PGY-1 year and completed Step III of the USMLE by the time of entry into the program can also be considered. Documentation that a clinical PGY-1 year in an ACGME accredited program will be completed prior to initiating the Public Health & Preventive Medicine program is an absolute requirement.

CCH participates in the ERAS system for resident applications. Applications in ERAS open in September, and review begins at that time. More information on ERAS can be found 这里.

There are two application tracks available in the ERAS system. 

• 这 Advanced track is designed for applicants without prior post-graduate residency training—typically MS4s—who plan to enter the program in two years. Applicants must also apply for a transitional year at another institution, and admission is contingent on both acceptance to and successful completion of that year before starting the Public Health & Preventive Medicine Residency Program.
• 这 Reserved for Physicians Only track is for applicants who will have at least one year of post-graduate residency training completed by the end of this academic year and are prepared to begin the Public Health & Preventive Medicine Residency Program next year.

Our program also participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) through the American Board of Preventive Medicine, with offers made in March for a July 1st start. More information on NRMP can be found 这里.
