Preventive medicine, social medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, screening, immunization, nutrition, environmental health, occupational health, demography, health planning, and national public-health programs are no longer peripheral topics; they are central to how future clinicians, public-health professionals, and allied health candidates are trained and assessed.
