Preventive Medicine Residency Program
About Our Program Our program is a two-year general Preventive Medicine and Public Health residency that combines concurrent academic training with practicum experience (PGY-2 and PGY-3). The unique geopolitical locale of Columbia, SC and our excellent faculty of research PhD's and multi-disciplinary physicians provide an environment for outstanding resident opportunities. The two-year residency program combines academic training with practicum experience in preventive medicine and public health. The program design permits great flexibility and choice for individual career plans, providing exceptional faculty consultation and other resources for both clinical and research opportunities. Our program director is Joshua R. Mann, MD, MPH. The program offers collaborative interdisciplinary research activities with the Arnold School of Public Health, the CDC-funded Prevention Research Center, and other venues. A full spectrum of preventive medicine and public health rotations are available including state and regional health agencies, managed care, occupational medicine, Medicare, a major military installation, and others. We also provide salary support for elective rotations with the CDC, ODPHP, the NIH, and out-of-state elective rotations designed by residents. PGY-2 Residents complete a Master in Public Health (MPH) degree through the Arnold School of Public Health. The MPH program includes the core courses of biostatistics, epidemiology, health services policy and management, environmental health sciences, and health promotion, education, and behavior.
