Receiving the highest quality healthcare is a recognized right for all individuals in every society. Such care should be addressed at all levels of prevention, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels. The provision of preventive care at the primary and first levels is the most effective approach to maintaining and improving health, supported by robust documentation. Every health system should prioritize prevention programs. In Iran, the field of Community Medicine has been established to achieve these objectives. Its goal is to equip graduates with contemporary knowledge and technology to continuously measure, analyze, monitor, and assess health indicators, focusing on primary prevention by identifying and planning interventions to control risk factors for diseases at various levels: individual, population, and societal. This approach aims to reduce the burden of diseases (1).
However, many years after the establishment of Community Medicine in the country, no definitive role has been established for its graduates within society. Consequently, specialists in Community Medicine often find themselves working in unrelated positions and specializations, gradually distancing themselves from the philosophy and mission of their training. The Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education should develop employment opportunities tailored to the training these graduates have received (2).
