About CATs

Each research initiative is overseen by a Community Action Team, or "CAT," which includes academic, clinical, and community members, along with a medical and/or public health student, and a preventive medicine resident physician. The "CAT" is the working unit of the PRC in the community; wherever you see a CAT, the PRC is in action.
