Pat Remington

I served as the Program Director of the Preventive Medicine Residency Program for eight years, from 2014-2022. In 2023, I reduced my role and now serve as a program faculty and mentor to residents.

As a mentor to residents, I draw upon my experience practicing public health and developing educational and other programs. My experience at the CDC, Wisconsin Division of Public Health, and UW School of Medicine and Public Health provides me with a solid understanding of role for physicians in efforts to improve the health of populations—focusing on public health and health equity. My own research focused on the interface between science and practice and culminated in a model for public health surveillance for engaging communities in broad-based efforts to measure health and mobilize communities toward action. In addition to my work with our residents, I continue to give guest lectures to undergraduate, public health, and medical students.
