On behalf of the University of Iowa Family Medicine Interest Group, we want to welcome you to the College of Medicine and congratulate you on your acceptance! 

The FMIG is made up of students who are, or think they may be, interested in Family Medicine. Even if you aren’t yet sure of what area of medicine you want to pursue, the events we sponsor are clinically relevant to most areas of medicine, so get involved! Joining the group is FREE!
