The Leadership Preventive Medicine Residency (LPMR) is the first of its kind in the nation.
It is offered jointly by The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI) and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Residents will earn a masters in public health (MPH) degree and have the opportunity to translate this knowledge into improving the process of care for a subpopulation of patients.
Core competencies of LPMR
- Leadership—including design and redesign—of small systems in health care
- Measurement of illness burden in individuals and populations
- Measurement of the outcomes of health service interventions
- Leadership of change for improvement of quality, value, and safety of health care of individuals and of populations
