University of Miami Family Medicine Interest Group
Keep your options open.
Use FMIG to find things worth doing now: scholarships, travel, research, projects, mentors, procedures, sports medicine, rural medicine, private practice, DPC and leadership.
You do not have to be committed to family medicine. The point is to make useful opportunities and real career information easier to find while you figure out what kind of physician you want to become.
Why join at all?
Useful from day one.
A student organization should be infrastructure, not another logo on your CV. FMIG should save you time, surface opportunities earlier and connect you with people who can actually answer your questions.
AAFP, FAFP, NHSC, HPSP, Pisacano, White Coat Investor and other scholarships with dates in one place.
Research, posters, volunteering, health-tech, TruCost projects, events and leadership roles with an actual output.
DPC, private practice, sports medicine, rural practice, fellowships, academics, business in medicine and leadership.
Deadlines, not vague resources
Scholarships with actual dates.
Our scholarship tracker separates open, upcoming, rolling and closed opportunities and keeps an RSS/XML source of truth.
The career is bigger than clinic
Compare lifestyle, scope and ownership.
See training length, private practice, DPC, procedures, cost-of-living leverage, sports medicine and fellowship optionality instead of comparing specialties on salary alone.
Research • innovation • career development
Pick a lane. Build a body of work.
These are different ways to use FMIG depending on what you actually want from medical school.
Career optionality
One specialty can become very different jobs.
Students searching for lifestyle specialties, flexibility or business in medicine are usually trying to understand control. Family medicine gives you several levers.
Want fewer random emails and more relevant opportunities?
Choose exactly what you want FMIG to send: scholarships, research, travel, DPC, sports medicine, rural medicine, fellowships, mentorship, health-tech or general updates.
