Abstract:
1) A field of preventive medicine is extremely wide. We focus on the post-primary clinical training courses executed in the departments of preventive medicine in medical schools, health administration offices in community and ministry, and occupational health.
2) A physician is recommended to choose the department of medical schools after inquiry of the major field such as community health, occupational health, epidemiology or toxicology, etc.
3) The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare qualifies physician no later than 5 years after graduation from medical school for employment as a technical officer of specialist.
4) For community health officers, comprehensive knowledge is required.
