Emory University's Public Health and General Preventive Medicine (PHGPM) Residency and Fellowship Program recently had residents complete rotations with the Southeast Health District (SEHD).

PHGPM is a unique residency track that focuses on population and public health, setting it apart from other medical specialties. Training emphasizes preventive medicine, primary care, and conditions of public health significance.

During their time, resident physicians gained hands-on experience in local, state, and federal governmental public health settings across multiple programs, including:

• Environmental health
• Health promotion and disease prevention in communities
• Maternal and child health
• Community medical services
• Wellness clinics
• Infectious disease surveillance and reporting
• Emergency preparedness and services

Partnerships and experiences like these are how we build a healthcare workforce ready to meet Georgia's healthcare needs.
