The Ohio State University - Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) earns National Recognition. Again!
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has honored OSU's Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) with the prestigious Program of Excellence Award for the eighth consecutive year.
Each year, the AAFP accepts applications for this award from each FMIG across the nation. The application explains in detail the various aspects of our group from the past year, including Infrastructure, Student Involvement/Student Retention, Family Practice Advocacy, and Community Outreach/Patient Advocacy. The AAFP then selects the top ten FMIGs in the nation and honors them with this impressive award.
In addition to the Program of Excellence Award, FMIG earned a third national award this year for the comprehensive Infrastructure of the organization. That is the sixth categorical award FMIG has received.
That totals 14 national awards in eight years! Hats off the leaders and members of OSU's FMIG! Thanks go out to all the leaders of FMIG that contributed to the organization, especially the graduating seniors who have done so much for the group. A special thank you goes out to all the support that FMIG receives from the Department of Family Medicine, as well the area physicians and residency programs.
