Tulane's Preventive Medicine Residency Program enables resident physicians to acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of preventive medicine and public health in real-life settings.
The Tulane University General Preventive Medicine Residency Program is jointly sponsored by the Tulane University School of Medicine and the Tulane University School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine. The Preventive Medicine Residency Program is unique in that it is the only one in the state of Louisiana, and it allows preventive medicine professionals to sub-specialize in numerous areas that most other programs do not offer. During the two-year residency program, academic work leads to a Master of Public Health degree. Concurrently, a supervised practicum experience fosters application of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of preventive medicine and public health.
The mission of the Tulane General Preventive Medicine Residency Program is to provide residents with an accredited, high-quality educational experience that will train them for careers in academic, administrative, and/or clinical preventive medicine.
Graduates of the Tulane University Preventive Medicine Residency Program enter careers in governmental public health, clinical preventive medicine, academia, and the private sector. Many alumni of the program become employees of the state of Louisiana. After doing 2 to 3 month rotations in the specialty public health sites of the Office of Public Health, the two VA Medical Center sites in Louisiana, and other rotation possibilities, residents become very familiar with Louisiana's public health programs and are uniquely equipped to tackle challenging health dilemmas.
