Preventive medicine teaching cases for preventive medicine residents.

Full Abstract

Preventive medicine education is unique in that its successes are measured in groups of people. Conveying this population perspective can be difficult, even to preventive medicine residents, some of whom have been in clinical practice for many years. The Case-Based Series in Population-Oriented Prevention (C-POP) was adapted for use in the New York State Preventive Medicine Residency curriculum. Parts of two of the cases were felt to be too clinical for use in this setting, but the other cases were well received and imparted the desired population perspective. Although the C-POP series was produced for undergraduate medical education, it is generally adaptable to the needs of a preventive medicine curriculum.
