The
American College of Preventive Medicine
(ACPM) is the national professional
society for physicians committed to
disease prevention and health promotion.
ACPM's 2,000 members are engaged in
preventive medicine practice, teaching and
research. Many serve on ACPM committees
and task forces and represent preventive
medicine in national forums, contributing
to the organization's role as a major
national resource of expertise in disease
prevention and health promotion. ACPM was
established in 1954.
Specialists
in preventive medicine are uniquely
trained in both clinical medicine and
public health. They have the skills needed
to understand and reduce the risks of
disease, disability and death in
individuals and in population groups. You
can find preventive medicine trained
physicians working in primary care
settings and managed care organizations,
in public health and government agencies,
in workplaces and in academia.
