Meet our Program

With rotations at UC San Diego Health and in other community health programs, the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science at UC San Diego links to medicine through the General Preventive Medicine Residency program. It is jointly sponsored by UC San Diego and San Diego State University, providing access to both academic and clinical medicine.

Residents — who are both UC San Diego resident physicians and San Diego State University graduate students throughout their residency — receive training on competencies to deal with clinical preventive medicine and population-level problems such as health care for the indigent, communicable disease control and health care delivery.
