Mission
The UNC-FMIG is an organization dedicated to students
interested in a career in Family Medicine as well as other primary care
disciplines. UNC has a nationally renowned program in family medicine and we
provide a foundation for the students to interact and learn from the
excellent family physicians and residents staff
here. In addition we support community involvement activities in preventive
medicine, medical skills enhancement, and leadership roles for students
wishing to be involved in primary care. Furthermore we provide an opportunity
to learn more about the opportunities available in the field of family
medicine. By organizing various community projects, scheduling educational
speakers, offering skill building sessions and attending conferences, our
members acquire the qualities needed to become strong voices in policy and
community leadership, as well as competent, compassionate physicians.
