The physician will be eligible to sit for the board certification examination administered by the American Board of Preventive Medicine.In addition to satisfying the requirements for admission to the University with classified graduate standing, as described in Part Two of the Graduate Bulletin (.pdf, 161 kb), the student seeking admission to the preventive medicine residency must fulfill the admission requirements given above, and have completed a Doctor of Medicine degree from an accredited institution.
The student will be expected to complete a three year course of study which involves the completion of a clinical year provided by the UCSD School of Medicine, the completion of an academic year leading to the MPH degree provided by the GSPH at SDSU, and appropriate practicum experiences under the supervision of faculty of one of the two cooperating institutions.
The student is expected to complete the number of units required for the MPH degree as well as those additional units which may be prescribed in order to complete the practicum year, such as field practice. The student is expected to have maintained a 3.0 average overall in the coursework at both the GSPH and UCSD Medical School.
