The Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) is a student-led organization that empowers medical students on campus to learn more about the family medicine specialty. FMIG is sponsored by the Department of Family and Community Medicine and funded by the Alabama Academy of Family Physicians Foundation and the Alabama Rural Health Board.
FMIG recently selected its 2022-2023 executive leadership team. The team includes four medical students, all in their second year, who will collaborate to plan events with their departmental advisor, Ksenia Blinnikova, M.D., MPH, assistant professor, to increase awareness and education in family medicine among their peers.
Sam Johnson, Devin Dobbins, Lauren Mims, Hudson Honeywell will serve the organization this year as executive leaders. New to FMIG this year, an advisory team will assist the leadership team in planning events. The advisory team is composed of medical students in their third and fourth year and includes Betty Trushaw, Ben Nelson, Shefa Suhaila, Yulianna Jimenez and Hana Habchi.
