FMIG hosted a well attended event last spring to celebrate the 4th year students who matched in Family Medicine and to help 1st and 2nd year students gain insight into the opportunities available in Family Medicine and the process behind applying for residency.
Topics included:
How did you pick which residency programs to apply to?
Were you restricted by geography or specific program needs?
How many applications did you send out?
Pros and cons of Family Medicine compared to Internal Medicine.
What criteria do you look for in a residency program? How do you get involved in obstetics through a family medicine residency program?
Are you worried about not being able to pay back your loans because of the salary for Family Medicine doctors?
Why family medicine and not Med-Peds?
What are the family med-friendly areas of the country and what are the family med-unfriendly areas?
Experiences (research, volunteer, etc) that strengthened their application
Our panel included:
Ashley Wilson BUSM '11
Trina Huffman BUSM '11
Dr. Joanne Wilkinson FMIG faculty advisor
Thank you to our panel and to everyone that came out!
