Why do nursing schools and med school mostly teach treatment based information rather than preventive?

As I was in nursing school so much of our program was treatment based, and very little was talked about prevention, for example so many people have never had a full lab test that shows all functions in the body. With the human body being so complex it feels like we arn’t taking advantage of all of our resources to keep our patients healthy.

Preventative healthcare is taught as part of public health and health promotion. You probably had a short module on that as part of your course but it’s a separate profession. Things like education and environment are more important to preventative health than lab tests. Have a look at Michael Marmots work for more info.
