About
The Bloomberg School offers two residency programs for physicians: a General Preventive Medicine Residency Program and an Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency Program. Each two-year program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Although the programs are distinct entities, they share a similar structure; the first year is primarily an academic year in which coursework toward the MPH degree is completed. The second year is a practicum year during which residents fulfill rotation requirements in various settings including: public health departments, clinics, local and federal government agencies and sites, corporate sites, and a union site. Completion of either program leads to eligibility for certification by the American Board of Preventive Medicine in either General Preventive Medicine and Public Health or Occupational and Environmental Medicine. These programs appeal to physicians who are interested in a medical career that combines medicine and public health. Completion of either program opens up a world of possibilities and opportunities; many of our alumni are leaders who go on to make an impact in their professions across the country and globe.
