Preventive medicine is exactly what it sounds like: it aims to keep illness from occurring in the first place. Preventive medicine is based on the philosophy of protecting, promoting, and maintaining health and well-being. It also aims to prevent disease, disability, and death on an individual as well as community and population levels.
All physicians advocate for preventive medicine, though some choose to specialize in it. Biostatistics and epidemiology, as well as a mix of medical, social, economic, and behavioral sciences, are used by physicians in this specialty. They could assess health-care services or manage health-care organizations. They also investigate the causes of disease and injury in specific populations.
Preventive medicine is a medical specialty and an approach to healthcare that focuses on preventing diseases, injuries, and other health conditions before they occur or progress. The goal is to promote health, prolong life, and improve the quality of life through various strategies, interventions, and public health measures. Preventive medicine encompasses a range of activities, including education, vaccination, screening, lifestyle modifications, and environmental interventions. Here are key components and aspects of preventive medicine:
DEMAND FOR PREVENTIVE MEDICINE PHYSICIANS
Preventive medicine is becoming more popular as the importance of preventing or delaying illness and disease is recognised. Communities, corporations, and individuals are promoting healthier lifestyles for reasons other than health. Healthier lifestyles reduce medical costs: it is far less expensive to prevent illness than it is to treat it. Preventive care physicians, like doctors in other medical fields, are an ageing population. As doctors retire, there will be a greater need for preventive care specialists. According to a July 2020 report from the Association of American Medical Colleges, one-third of US physicians are 60 or older, with well over half—57 percent—being over 50.
