Audio (mp3) recording Recorded Presentation (mp4)
This presentation will introduce the medical specialty of Preventive Medicine (PM) and how physicians who specialize in PM serve as boundary spanners in communities and health care institutions to bridge the divide between clinical care and population health.  It will describe why this integration is so important to health systems transformation (HST) and provide information about the American College of Preventive Medicine’s strategic initiatives focused on HST and how to infuse population health in health care systems.  Lastly, it will highlight the unique training of PM residents, describe how such training positions these physicians as leaders in integration efforts, and encourage communities to seek out PM physicians to further any integration work that may be underway or being considered.

Learning Areas:

Public health or related education

Learning Objectives:
Identify Preventive Medicine physicians in health care institutions or communities and engage these physicians in health system transformation efforts that seek to bridge clinical care with population health improvement.
