The IAFP Foundation promotes the growth of Family Medicine through a variety of membership, student and resident programs including continuing medical education conferences, the Family Medicine Interest Group program (FMIG), Rural Underserved Opportunity Program (RUOP) for first- and second-year medical students, and the Idaho Premed Matching Program. The Foundation helps students and residents attend valuable national conferences to help nurture their interest in Family Medicine.

“…Attending the expo hall was a fantastic opportunity to meet residency programs from across the country, providing invaluable information as I put together my ERAS application. This experience would not have been possible without the support I received from the IAFP Foundation. Thank you so much for selecting me to attend FUTURE this year! ”

“This conference not only enhanced my clinical knowledge but also gave me a broader vision for what a career in family medicine can look like. I’m excited to carry these experiences forward as I continue my journey in medical school and beyond. I am so grateful for IAFP for providing me this scholarship and opportunity to attend AAFP Future.”
