The Association for Prevention Teaching and Research (APTR) is proud to announce the upcoming class of residents for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) residency rotation located in Rockville, MD. APTR offers field placements for preventive medicine residents and primary care residents with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Program, based at AHRQ.

The clinical preventive medicine rotation at AHRQ provides an in-depth experience in the process of developing evidence-based recommendations. Residents work closely with AHRQ staff and USPSTF members in a variety of activities such as: participating in scoping of clinical preventive services (CPS) topics; researching information on epidemiology and burden of preventable conditions addressed by CPS; reviewing and summarizing external comments on draft recommendations; researching positions of other organizations; and editing and finalizing recommendations and rationale statements. Other projects may involve developing implementation materials for USPSTF recommendations aimed at patients, clinicians, health plans, employers or policy makers.
