The FMIG Network thrives today because of the hard work of so many FMIGs working together to promote family medicine. Resources listed in this section offer some additional ways to communicate and connect with each other.
Conferences, Connections, and Collaboration

The three-day event includes a packed exhibition hall with more than 400 exhibitors looking to connect with medical students and family medicine residents, workshops, and lectures on more than 50 topics, and a chance to make lifelong connections with others who share a stake in family medicine.
Regional Conference Calls for FMIG Leaders
-- The AAFP invites FMIG leaders from medical schools across the country to join in their region's Conference Call for FMIG Leaders. Since medical students are the driving force behidn each FMIG, the sharing of ideas between FMIGs is extremely important.
