The perceptions of one department of preventive medicine about its obligations to the larger community.
We believe that Department of Preventive Medicine must be actively involved in important societal issues. We have attempted to meet our commitments by: (I) developing position papers for distribution to our state legislators and Congressional delegation; (2) a focus on problems plaguing the community (cancer care, drug abuse, lead poisoning); (3) developing and implementing a health promotion program that is inexpensive, adequately documented, and effective; (4) being involved in various international medicine activities; and (5) starting a chapter of the World Future Society as part of an attempt to introduce futurism into universities, colleges and high schools in New Jersey.
