STFM LAUNCHES ITS FUTURE FAMILY DOCS CAMPA1GN-THE SOCIETY'S PREMEDICAL SCHOOL RECRUITMENT PLAN

摘要

STFM is proud to announce the official launch of Future Family Docs, a campaign designed to inspire and support outreach activities by our STFM members to premedica! students to promote careers in family medicine. The campaign is organized in 3 ways: (1) a Web site of resource materials to use with.students of all ages, (2) a schedule of features in STFM publications, along with discussion and "buzz" at all STFM events, and (3) new partnerships with other organizations who are tackling the same issue of changing the pipeline into medicine. We will promote the importance of mentoring and coaching and exposing young people before medical school to the joys of family medicine. We will target the young people in our own medical practice communities-children from rural communities, children with economic challenges, children of recent immigrant families, and children from minority ethnic communities. This is our next stage of action to fulfill our society's charge from the Future of Family Medicine report, namely, "To Promote a Sufficient Family Medicine Workforce".
