Promoting Interest in Family Medicine
Family Medicine Interest Groups (FMIGs) at each of North Carolina's four medical schools allow medical students the opportunity to learn and discover what it means to be a family physician. Each group is unique and many hold monthly or quarterly meetings featuring activities and speakers that present on a variety of family medicine's unique aspects.
