Family Med Interest Group-Wichita

Another successful “Doc-for-a-Day” in the books! This spring we hosted the event for pre-med students! Attendees had the chance to hear from admissions, learn from a student panel, and get hands-on experience with a birth simulation and suture station.

Thank you students, volunteers, and faculty for all of the work you did to make this event successful! 🩺🩵

Last night, at the annual FMIG senior banquet, we had the opportunity to recognize our M4s who matched into family medicine residency programs! We are so proud of each of you and can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make in your communities as future family physicians! ✨🩺

A huge thank you to last year’s FMIG board for your dedication and hard work!

We are also so grateful for our faculty advisors, Dr. Rohrberg and Dr. Fisher, for your constant guidance and encouragement. We also want to thank Dr. Irwin, our guest speaker, for sharing such a meaningful perspective on what it truly means to be a family physician.

Here’s to another great year! 🎉

Congrats to the KU School of Medicine-Wichita students who matched into family medicine!

Highlights from last night’s Dermatology Procedure Night! 💉🩺

Students had the opportunity to rotate through hands-on stations focused on common dermatologic procedures performed in family medicine. With guidance from family medicine residents from Wesley, Via Christi, and Smoky Hill, attendees practiced shave and punch biopsies, suturing techniques, and lesion identification.

Thank you to the residents who shared their time and expertise to help us learn!

Another successful Doc-for-a-Day in the books!! 🩺💙

Doc for a Day allows high school students to experience a day in the life of a physician. Students had the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities including suturing, taking vitals, VR anatomy, ultrasound, and even code blue and delivery simulations.

Thank you to all of the students, volunteers, and faculty who helped make this event such a meaningful experience for the future of medicine!
