"I stay current with the ongoing advancements in preventive medicine in various ways. I subscribe to several industry blogs, such as Global Public Health and The Rand Corporation, that deliver a message to my email when there is a new blog outlining the latest trends. I also read scholarly preventive medicine articles and listen to the Preventive Medicine Podcast every morning on my way to work. I have also attended seminars and conferences yearly for the past four years that always have the latest on advancements in the field of preventive medicine."
