Academies of Family Medicine

The American Academy of Family Physicians and the state chapter, Illinois Academy of Family Physicians offer several opportunities for students to become better acquainted with family medicine. They sponsor state and national meetings that include residency fairs, skills workshops, Family Medicine policy meetings, student leadership conferences, and summer externship programs for M1 students. Student rates and scholarships are available for these events. The Academies provide a Family Medicine journal to all student members (membership is free and an application is included in your orientation packet). Also, these academies support local Family Medicine Interest Group activities.
