💡Did you know?💡
➡️Preventive Medicine Physicians are “uniquely trained in both clinical medicine and public health to promote health and wellbeing.”- @ACPM_HQ

[UCLA Preventive Medicine @UCLAPrevMed]

➡️There are 69 accredited Preventive Medicine Fellowships however only 47 fellowship slots receive federal funding; the other slots have to find funding from non federal resources and many times do not find funding.
➡️ We advocated to increase fellowship slots from 47 to 175.

During the @ACPM_HQ annual conference, our fellows participated in Hill Day, where they advocated for the Preventive Medicine speciality by asking for federal financial support to train more physicians in Preventive Medicine.
