Dalla Lana School of Public Health

Royal College Fellowship in Public Health and Preventive Medicine

The public health and preventive medicine physician deals with populations or groups rather than with individuals. In conjunction with other health professionals and members of the community, the public health and preventive medicine physician measures the health needs of the community and develops methods of improving levels of health.

The Public Health and Preventive Medicine Residency Program is an accredited post-graduate training program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Application can only be made through the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CARMS). An official description of the Public Health and Preventive Medicine Residency Program can be found at the CARMS website.
