I was just doing research on different residencies, and recently have been getting interested in preventative medicine/public health after talking to some mph students and going to different lectures on global health.
But when I looked about AOA Preventative Medicine/PH residency spots I was surprised that I only found one place (Nova) with only a few spots. I would have though due to that this type of work lended to the "whole person DO philosophy" and that there would be more PM/PH DO residencies. Am I missing something? Or does one have to do the ACGME/USMLE route?
Also I couldn't find much literature online about a typical day, lifestyle, hours etc. And the pros/cons as it seems to be a little less well known speciality but seems to be a interesting especially if you don't necessarily want to do sole "clinical" work. Could anyone shed some light on any info? Thanks
