Travel
AAFP and chapter scholarships can help offset conference registration, travel, lodging, and meals.
University of Miami Family Medicine Interest Group
Keep your options open.
Travel, volunteer, meet physicians, build leadership experience, and see what family medicine actually looks like. You do not have to be committed to family medicine to join.
Thinking about something competitive? That's fine. FMIG can still give you service, leadership, travel, mentorship, research, and useful clinical exposure without asking you to declare anything.
Useful even if you are still figuring it out.
FMIG should give you things worth doing on their own, not just another line on a CV.
Do something real
Volunteer, lead a project, present a poster, join advocacy, or help build an event.
Low pressure
Participate in what is useful to you. You do not need to already know your specialty.
