Interest Groups
We collaborate with Washington's medical schools to promote interest in family medicine. The Foundation offers financial support to the Family Medicine Interest Groups (FMIG) at each of the schools and scholarships to students.
To engage with the FMIG at a Washington school, see the contact information listed below.
The FMIG of UW Seattle and the FMIG of UW Spokane offer students collaborative spaces to explore their interest in family medicine. With strong faculty support, the FMIGs organize opportunities for mentorship, networking, clinical skills development, advocacy, and community service. Through these experiences, students gain insight into breadth of family medicine and experience opportunities to deepen their skills in areas that matter most to them.
To connect with the Seattle FMIG, contact famed@uw.edu.
To connect with the Spokane FMIG, contact Deborah Greene at dg46@uw.edu.
PNWU's FMIG is dedicated to helping students explore the value and impact of family medicine. Through volunteer opportunities, workshops, and guest speakers, the club fosters interest and involvement in the specialty. By participating, students gain leadership experience, build professional connections, serve their communities, and thoroughly answer the question of “Why family medicine?”
Learn more at PNWU's Student Clubs webpage; look for the section titled American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians/Family Medicine Interest Group.
The FMIG of WSU grows and inspires student interest in family medicine by facilitating professional growth opportunities, advancing community partnerships, and advocating for equitable care for all families in Washington state. The members work together to engage in policy and advocacy for health equity and to explore the specialty of family medicine through community partnerships.
