    AbstractThe pandemonium from the 2020 pandemic calls for a greater emphasis on prevention, public health and population health. Yet the role of preventive medicine specialists, ideally qualified to lead this charge, remains difficult to situate within the houses of medicine and public health. To overcome this challenge to its identity and evolve to better tackle novel and on-going public health and population health problems, the authors propose that the specialty of preventive medicine should assert 3 core functions within preventive care; expand and modernize its knowledge base; and enhance its residency training accordingly. The authors also propose 10 essential services, not otherwise systematically provided by other specialties, that the preventive medicine specialty can optimally fulfill as its unique contributions within medicine and public health.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
