Upcoming Events
Family Medicine Interest Groups
Family Medicine Interest Groups (FMIG) are led by medical students for medical students, and aim to raise awareness and engage students, residents and staff in the field of family medicine.
Every medical school in Ontario has an FMIG, which offers an excellent way for you to explore the specialty of family medicine and meet other students like you.
FMIG-hosted activities throughout the year are designed to familiarize students with the many aspects of family medicine. Events may include, for example, talks, panel discussions, and clinical activities through which students can meet family physicians and residents, and explore diverse family practice interests – such as research, rural medicine, obstetrics, emergency medicine and public health.
Funding for Medical Student Initiatives
Did you know the OCFP makes funding available for selected special initiatives and events by family medicine residents and medical students at each of the six medical schools across the province?
