American College of Preventive Medicine

What American College of Preventive Medicine does

ACPM, founded in 1954 and headquartered at 1200 First St NE, Suite 315 in Washington, D.C., is the only U.S. professional medical society exclusively dedicated to preventive medicine, representing more than 2,000 board-certified preventive medicine physicians together with medical students, residents, healthcare professionals, and a diverse set of Prevention Alliance organizational partners. It is organized as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, governed by a Board of Regents, and operates as a member-supported society rather than a venture-backed entity. Its mission centers on advancing the specialty through disease prevention, health promotion, population health, and health policy advocacy.

ACPM's core technology stack and product portfolio revolve around its proprietary OasisLMS at learn.acpm.org, which hosts continuing medical education courses, certification programs, conference evaluations, and transcripts, and integrates with the VA's TMS and the public TRAIN learning network to distribute Military Environmental Exposures training to over 1,000 VA and non-VA clinicians. Core products include PrevEd Plus (an annual CME subscription at $150/year for members), the AI in Preventive Medicine & Public Health Certification ($545-$715 for 11 modules), MEE Level 1 and Level 2 certifications, a Board Review Course Bundle aligned with American Board of Preventive Medicine requirements, the annual In-Service Examination for residents, and the Preventive Medicine 2026 conference in Baltimore. Supporting products include the Hard Data and PMR Toolkit podcasts, surveillance webinars, position statements approved by the Board of Regents, and the Lifestyle Medicine in Undergraduate Medical Education program developed with AAMC and other partners.

Revenue mechanics combine recurring membership dues, recurring PrevEd Plus subscriptions, transaction-priced CME courses and certifications, tiered conference registration (members $522.50-$1,485; non-members $1,375-$1,705; military environmental exposure symposium free), the annual In-Service Examination, Prevention Alliance organizational memberships ($3,000-$15,000 across four tiers), and conference sponsorships and exhibits. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored on the annual conference and on professional-development partnerships with AMA, CDC, VA WRIISC/HOME, ABPM, ACGME, ACLM, ACSM, the Bipartisan Policy Center, and other specialty societies.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC): NCHEC offers Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) credentialing and continuing education. Comparable in providing certification programs and continuing education to public health professionals, though with broader scope than ACPM's physician focus.

Direct peers

• Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE): SOPHE is a professional society focused on public health education, offering continuing education and advocacy. It mirrors ACPM's professional society business model and serves overlapping audiences in population health.
• American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM): ACLM is a direct partner of ACPM in lifestyle medicine education and offers board certification in lifestyle medicine. It is closely comparable as a specialty medical society providing CME, certification, and conferences to physicians in adjacent preventive/lifestyle medicine fields.
• American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM): ACOEM is a peer preventive medicine society focused on occupational and environmental medicine. ACPM and ACOEM co-administer In-Service Examinations for preventive medicine residents and serve overlapping federal/military physician audiences.
• American Public Health Association (APHA): APHA is a public health professional association that offers continuing education, conferences, and advocacy. It directly parallels ACPM's mission of advancing population health and provides comparable CME and certification programs.
• American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM): ACSM is a partner in ACPM's lifestyle medicine education initiatives and offers its own CME, certifications, and conferences. Comparable as a specialty medical society with similar educational and certification models serving physicians.

Others

• American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM): ABPM is a strategic partner that certifies preventive medicine physicians. While ABPM is a certification body rather than an educator, it is closely aligned with ACPM's board review and In-Service Examination products.

Broad incumbents

• American College of Physicians (ACP): ACP is a large internal medicine professional society that offers CME, board review, and advocacy. It overlaps with ACPM in CME delivery, professional society model, and physician member base, though it focuses on internal medicine broadly rather than prevention.
• American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP): AAFP is a major physician society offering CME, certification, and advocacy for family medicine. It competes with ACPM for CME attention and physician memberships across overlapping preventive care topics.
• American Medical Association (AMA): AMA is the largest US physician organization, offering CME, advocacy, and the House of Delegates where ACPM participates. While a broader incumbent, AMA is directly comparable in professional society business model and CME delivery.
