Research, innovation + fellowships

Family medicine can be a platform for research, health-system innovation, entrepreneurship, rural health, focused clinical training, and national leadership.

HEALTH TECH

RESEARCH

Rural + underserved medicine research

Build or join projects around access, workforce shortages, care delivery, population health, affordability, or outcomes in rural and underserved communities. FMIG can help connect students with mentors, collaborators, and poster opportunities.

CAREER PATH

Learn early how family physicians build focused expertise through sports medicine, geriatrics, obstetrics and maternal health, palliative care, addiction medicine, academic medicine, global health, and other fellowship pathways after residency.

FUNDING + LEADERSHIP

Grants, awards + national roles

AAFP and FAFP offer student scholarships, project support, recognition, conference funding, and leadership pathways. FMIG can help surface deadlines and turn a good student project into a stronger application.
