Application Timeline:
The APTR-ODPHP Health
Policy Residency Rotation Program provides excellent learning opportunities in health policy for preventive medicine and
primary care residents. Residents witness federal health policy in the making
and consider the significant role of physicians in the process. During the
rotation, residents have the opportunity to work on national preventive health
initiatives as well as attend meetings
and briefings with high-level policy makers and other prevention-related events
in the Washington, DC area.
This opportunity is available for preventive medicine residents with a
specialty in general preventive medicine/ public health, occupational medicine,
or aerospace medicine. Primary care residents with demonstrated interest in
prevention, public health, or health policy are also invited to apply.
