Celebrating Back-to-Back Victories: UAG School of Medicine Congratulates FMIG on Winning the AAFP Program of Excellence Award

With immense pride and joy, we, the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG) School of Medicine, extend our warmest congratulations to our esteemed Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG). It is with great delight that we announce FMIG’s consecutive victory as the recipient of the 2023 AAFP Program of Excellence Overall Award, marking two years in a row where their exceptional efforts have been recognized. This remarkable achievement highlights the FMIG's unwavering dedication, passion, and commitment to the field of family medicine.

FMIGs play a vital role in fostering student interest and cultivating a deep understanding of family medicine. In an era where the shortage of primary care physicians continues to grow, FMIGs are instrumental in shaping the future of healthcare. By encouraging students to embrace family medicine and its values, the FMIG at UAG School of Medicine is making a significant contribution to building a diverse and equitable healthcare system.

As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we reflect on the profound impact FMIGs have on students' lives. Many future family physicians are introduced to the specialty through FMIGs, igniting their passion for community health and promoting lifelong dedication. The consecutive victories of our FMIG group exemplify their commitment to excellence and their profound influence on the next generation of healthcare professionals. Looking forward, we envision the UAG School of Medicine's FMIG continuing to lead the way in promoting health equity and shaping the future of family medicine. Through their ongoing efforts, they will play a pivotal role in addressing the pressing healthcare challenges of our time.

On behalf of the UAG School of Medicine, we extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to the members of the FMIG for their exceptional contributions. Winning the AAFP Program of Excellence Overall Award for two consecutive years is a remarkable accomplishment that exemplifies their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment.
