Preventive Medicine

The Department of Preventive Medicine is involved in preventive medicine clinical care, education, and research for the School of Medicine. The department provides a comprehensive, four-year preventive medicine curriculum to all medical students. Graduate medical education training is available in a general preventive medicine residency, an occupational medicine residency, an addiction medicine fellowship, and a combined family and preventive medicine residency.

The department works with and supports the School of Public Health, as well as other Loma Linda University programs in health promotion and epidemiology research projects—the most prominent being the Adventist Health Study. Preventive medicine faculty members direct clinical services at the Center for Health Promotion, the Occupational Medicine Center, the Social Action Community (SAC) Health System clinics as well as five separate Inland Empire university health services. A diverse faculty focuses primary activities through the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health, the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center, the San Bernardino County and Riverside County health departments, and other regional and community entities.
