The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) is the national professional society for physicians committed to disease prevention and health promotion. ACPM's 2, 000 members are engaged in preventive medicine practice, teaching and research. Many serve on ACPM committees and task forces and represent preventive medicine in national forums, contributing to the organization's role as a major national resource of expertise in disease prevention and health promotion.

This resource strives to bring prevention-related topics in medicine and health to the world of networking, as well as to inform you of the workings of the Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine. There are already several organizations working hard to advance preventive medicine, and through this medium, we would like to introduce you to them.
