How stable is the field of PM? In other words will there still be jobs and residencies by the time I graduate from medical school or residency?
This does not directly answer your question but a bipartisan bill, The Preventive Medicine and Public Health Training Act (S. 1120), was introduced in early 2007 to the Senate that would authorize a line-item appropriation of $43 million for PM residency training programs via grants through the CDC. This is definitely reassuring as is the fact that healthcare spending is increasing and more thought needs to be focused on prevention. On the other hand, many of these programs rely on city, state, or federal funding directly or indirectly and thus certain programs without a stable source of funding or interest may be in jeopardy.
