About Us

Preventive Medicine focuses on promoting health. Specialists in the field focus on the elements that create health and prevent disease and disability. This includes evaluating evidence for use in decision-making, determining clinical and population-based approaches that promote health and prevent disease, and learning the occupational causes of diseases. Occupational Medicine, the intersection of health and the workplace, is a major area of activity for the Division of Preventive Medicine. It includes assessing fitness for work, evaluating conditions that prevent people from working or limit their work, and approaches to enable people to work.

The Division of Preventive Medicine is devoted to the prevention of disease and injury in the community and workplace through education, training and research both nationally and internationally, and to the provision of first class heath services and patient care. The division's occupational physicians offer in-patient and outpatient consultations. Other division members practise in the specialty of public health and preventive medicine.
