Research

The Department of Community and Preventive Medicine serves as the focus for research activities relevant to population health at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. Usually, these have included behavioral sciences, epidemiology, and health services research. However, in conjunction with these core disciplines, a wide range of the social sciences are represented in faculty research interests, including economics, history, policy, law, ethics, nutrition, sociology, and anthropology. This fosters the Department’s role as linkage to the undergraduate campus in many of these disciplines.
