Mission Statement:

Our obligation as health care professionals holds us to the goal of preventing disease and promoting wellness. In accordance with this, the purpose of the Prevention in ACTion (PACT) group is to provide information and educational opportunities in preventive medicine for medical students. PACT works with other interest groups and also supports its own projects, providing opportunities for students to gain experience in preventive medicine and community service. PACT is actively involved in promoting child safety and wellness in the Orange County school system through the RiskWatch program, and providing health education at community centers in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area. PACT can act as a resource linking you to other prevention projects focused on particular interests. We also hope to work cooperatively with other student interest groups to see and use prevention strategies within the various clinical areas.
