CAPM Home

The California Academy of Preventive Medicine (CAPM) is the official state society for California physicians specializing in the specialty of “General Preventive Medicine and Public Health.” It also welcomes physicians specializing in either of the other two specialties certified by the American Board of Preventive Medicine: Occupational Medicine, and Aerospace Medicine. CAPM engages in educational and scientific activities, support for these specialties, and promotion of public policies and legislation that enhance public health and disease prevention and control in California. Board-certified physicians may become Fellows, others who are working in one of these fields, but not Board-certified, may become general members.
