The residency is accredited for both the academic and practicum years. The residents complete these years concurrently over two years.

All residents must complete the following requirements:

1. Academic Year includes MPH in one of the following areas of concentrations:

.   Environmental Health
.   Health Services Administration
.   Epidemiology
.   Health Promotion
.   Biometry

48-56 units are required, with many residents completing 55-60 units.  The Graduate School of Public Health also requires a thesis, project or comprehensive examination.

All Preventive Medicine residents are required to complete a Masters in Public Health (MPH).

Those residents who already have an MPH before entering the program must still enroll in the School of Public Health and complete a full PGY2 and PGY3 year.

2. The practicum "year" is done over a two year period, concurrent with the academic year. It includes a series of tasks, also done concurrently: research, rotations, didactics, public health exposure and community health exposure.  These are described in detail through the link:  Practicum Year
