The Division of Preventive Medicine is dedicated to medicine and the health of the public through research, teaching and dissemination and translation of knowledge for improved health outcomes. From its inception in 1967, the Division of Preventive Medicine has played a key role in the many groundbreaking trials contributing to the knowledge of medical and health systems, behavioral aspects of disease, epidemiology, prevention, control, and disease outcomes. Special concern with health disparities and a desire to promote women’s health guide many Division activities. A research-oriented division, we also have active programs for the training of post doctoral fellows and clinical scholars.
Our research interests are organized into five Scientific Program Areas:
- Cancer Prevention and Control
- Other Chronic Diseases, including Cardiovascular, Diabetes and Obesity
- Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Methodology
- Addiction and Homelessness
- Behavioral Science
