Preventive medicine is the science of promoting health and wellness, and preventing disease. A preventive medicine physician works to protect and maintain health, and to prevent disease, disability and premature death. This physician commonly specializes in one of three areas: public health, occupational medicine, or aerospace medicine. This specialist works with large population groups (in public health medicine) as well as with individual patients to promote health and understand the risks of disease, injury, disability and death.
