Family of Family Medicine



This is part of the BUSM family of Family Medicine. We are medical students and residents. We are dedicated to serving our people. And we love eating steaks, ribs, chicken, beans, and corn together in Kansas City while at the AAFP National Conference.

It's great to be able to share insights and experiences across medical class lines. There's so much to be gained from sharing and reflecting! As it turns out, many of the other FMIGs at other schools have structured programs for this kind of contact: mentors, combined academic activities, and combined social activities.

There's so much potential for our own group at BUSM. Both Sebastian and I have noticed this from the few interactions we've had here, starting with the FMIG Leadership Development seminar on Wednesday, that we have a great opportunity for our FMIG to develop and grow. We want to bring a positive culture of Family Medicine to BU School of Medicine. With what started at this conference, let's create a family of Family Medicine at BUSM!
