Proposed Project 

Preventive Medicine Residency and 

Fellowship Program Evaluation—New—

Office of Workforce and Career 

Development (OWCD), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Preventive medicine is a specialized 

field of medical practice that works with 

large populations to promote good 

health; to prevent disease, injury and 

disability; and to facilitate early 

diagnosis and treatment of illness. It is 

unique because its central focus is 

population health. Despite the nation’s 

growing need for preventive-medicine 

skills, numerous studies have 

demonstrated an increasing shortage of 

preventive medicine-trained 

professionals, and that shortage is 

projected to continue (American College 

of Preventive Medicine; Council on 

Graduate Medical Education). The 

specialty will benefit from attracting 

new residents, rewarding programs that 

fill positions with highly qualified 

candidates, and expanding the specialty 

into new medical leadership roles 

(Ducatman, et al., 2005). 

The mission of CDC’s Preventive 

Medicine Residency and Fellowship 

(PMR/F) is to (1) train public health and 

preventive medicine leaders, and (2) 

maintain leadership in the field of 

preventive medicine training. CDC’s 

PMR/F has been training physicians in 

the residency since 1972 and 

veterinarians in the fellowship since 

1983. PMR/F consists of a competencybased curriculum, a one-year practicum, 

and sponsorship for a Master of Public 

Health degree for qualified applicants 

before the practicum year. PMR/F 

provides its residents and fellows with 

training and experience in leadership, 

management, program development and 

evaluation, and the translation of 

epidemiology to public health practice. 

During the past 15 years, the CDC 

PMR/F has adapted its educational plan 

and design in response to changing 

public health needs, feedback from 

trainees and stakeholders, internal 

reviews of the residency, changes in 

Accreditation Council for Graduate 

Medical Education (ACGME) 

requirements, and a formal national 

survey of Preventive Medicine 

Residency graduates conducted by CDC 

in 1991. The last formal evaluation of 

the program occurred as part of the 1991 

survey. 

CDC proposes a new project to 

evaluate the PMR/F. The goals of the 

evaluation are to determine: (1) How 

well PMR/F is fulfilling its mission to 

train competent public health 

practitioners and leaders, (2) the 

effectiveness of the PMR/F educational 

program, and (3) PMR/F’s contribution 

to its residents and fellows, the CDC, 

and the larger public health community. 

As part of this project, PMR/F 

practicum assignment mentors, alumni, 

and external preventive medicine 

subject matter experts will be asked to 

complete a questionnaire to provide 

information that addresses the 

evaluation’s goals. Below is a 

description of the questionnaire’s 

response burden. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Community Assistance Panels 

Nomination Form (CAPs)—(0923–

0007)—Extension—Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR) is mandated 

pursuant to the 1980 Comprehensive 

Environmental Response Compensation 

and Liability Act (CERCLA), and its 

1986 Amendments, the Superfund 

Amendments and Reauthorization Act 

(SARA), to prevent or mitigate adverse 

human health effects and diminished 

quality of life resulting from the 

exposure to hazardous substances in the 

environment. To facilitate this effort, 

ATSDR seeks the cooperation of the 

community being evaluated through 

direct communication and interaction. 

Direct community involvement is 

required to conduct a comprehensive 

scientific study and to effectively 

disseminate specific health information 

in a timely manner. Also, this direct 

interaction fosters a clear understanding 

of health issues that the community 

considers to be important and 

establishes credibility for the agency. 

The Community Assistance Panel 

nominations forms are completed by 

individuals in the community to 

nominate themselves or others for 

participation on these panels. 

This request is for a 3-year extension 

of the current OMB approval of the 

Community Assistance Panel 

nominations form. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time.
