Preventive medicine residency training focuses on data management and the role of data in decision making for individual patients and population health and there are intrinsic similarities and opportunities in preventive medicine training with regards to informatics. These similarities would be the basis for the Clinical Informatics Special Interest Group in developing learning objectives for preventive medicine physicians and residents, creating CME/ MOC material, setting informatics rotations with industry partners, and advocating for preventive medicine physicians job opportunities in informatics sector.
