Family Medicine Education Consortium

The Family Medicine Education Consortium, Inc. is a catalyst, convener, and incubator that connects those interested in improving the health of the community by strengthening family medicine/primary care services and medical education. Our primary area of focus is the northeast region of the U.S. We serve 60 medical schools and 190 family medicine residency programs. We hold a 1,000-person Annual Meeting, run learning collaboratives, conduct an awards program, and more. We inspire medical students to seek a career in family medicine; we support residents as they transition in their careers; we create and sustain regional teams that support cost-effective, quality improvement initiatives; we support and stimulate innovative approaches to primary care service delivery; and we strengthen academic family medicine by providing faculty development mentoring and leadership experiences.
