The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) coordinates the development of preventive medicine practice statements to outline the College’s perspective on critical health care issues. We provide a path to answers when clear guidance for preventive medicine practitioners and other health care professionals may be necessary. Our organization has compiled a list of practice guidelines to serve as helpful resources for our members.

Provided are a selection of practice statements for adults, children, communities, and more.
All practice statements undergo extensive evidence review and consideration by multiple committees of the board, prior to their publication. Many statements undergo a further review process for publication in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (AJPM).

Our list of statements is always expanding and currently includes resources on preventive medicine guidelines for the following:
 
  • COVID-19
  • Choosing Wisely
  • Public Health Practice
  • Tobacco
  • Violence and Safety
