What is the FMIG?

The family medicine interest group (FMIG) is a grouping of medical students, residents, and physicians who have an interest in the specialty of family practice.

What is the Mission of the FMIG?

Our mission is to increase awareness of and interest in the specialty of family practice. This we seek to accomplish by:

• providing information about careers available in the field of family practice
  
• facilitating interaction and communication between students and family practice faculty
  
• providing leadership opportunities
  
• providing members with the opportunity of getting involved both at the state level with the Kentucky Academy of Family Physicians (KAFP) and at the national level with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP)
  
• providing mentors for student members
