Description

APTR develops curriculum, professional development programs, and tools for its membership of educators, researchers, residents and students. By connecting public, private and government funding opportunities with the academic prevention community we bring together individuals and institutions devoted to health promotion and disease prevention education and research.

Who does APTR serve?

APTR serves health professionals, faculty and students from academic departments within medical and health professions schools, public heath graduate programs, health agencies, and schools of public health. We also represent the accredited and emerging graduate programs across the U.S. that grant public health degrees and therefore prepare students for professional careers in public health.

Why is this important?

Contemporary health professions educationâ€"especially medical educationâ€"focuses primarily on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and the role of prevention is not emphasized as highly as it should be.
