Program Description: The Preventive Medicine: Public Health Residency Program sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services incorporates both the practicum and academic years. The first year of the program, the academic year, consists of a course of study leading to the Master of Public Health degree. During the second year, the practicum year, the residents apply the knowledge and skills gained from the academic year in assignments while continuing to receive supervision and support from the program director. Graduates of the residency have the opportunity to continue to work in the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services or pursue work in public health research, in academia, or in other public or private health agencies depending on their interests.
