FMIGs are medical school-sponsored, student- and faculty-run organizations that give medical students a chance to learn more about family medicine through regular meetings, workshops, leadership development opportunities and community and clinical experiences. The Program of Excellence Awards recognizes FMIGs for their efforts to promote interest in family medicine and family medicine programming.
Award winners will be honored July 31 during the AAFP National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students in Kansas City, Missouri.
