We conducted a national survey of all physicians who graduated from preventive medicine residency (PMR) programs between 1979 and 1989. We mailed a self-administered questionnaire to all PMR graduates of the 43 U.S. programs in General Preventive Medicine and Public Health, requesting information on their current professional activities. Out of 1,070 PMR graduates, 797 (75%) responded to the survey. Overall, graduates were distinguished from other physicians by both work setting and work activities. PMR graduates worked predominantly in institutional settings: in federal or state health agencies, academia, or hospitals/clinics. In addition to maintaining their involvement in clinical medicine, PMR graduates were heavily involved in epidemiologic research and program management. This unique blend of organizational skills, expertise in population-based research, and clinical experience makes PMR graduates an increasingly important human resource as health care reform increases the population of patients being cared for in a managed care setting.
我们对1979年至1989年间毕业于预防医学住院医师培训（PMR）项目的所有医生进行了一项全国性调查。我们向美国43个一般预防医学和公共卫生项目的所有PMR毕业生邮寄了一份自行填写的问卷，询问他们当前的专业活动信息。在1070名PMR毕业生中，797人（75%）回复了调查。总体而言，毕业生在工作环境和工作活动方面都与其他医生有所不同。PMR毕业生主要在机构环境中工作：在联邦或州卫生机构、学术界或医院/诊所。除了继续参与临床医学工作外，PMR毕业生还大量参与流行病学研究和项目管理。随着医疗改革增加了在管理式医疗环境中接受护理的患者数量，这种组织技能、基于人群研究的专业知识和临床经验的独特结合使PMR毕业生成为日益重要的人力资源。
