\n<\/TABLE>UNMC’s Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) has won the 2008-2009 Program of Excellence award through the American Academy of Family Physicians. <\/p>\n

The annual award recognizes FMIGs for their efforts to stimulate interest in family medicine and family medicine programming.<\/p>\n

The club advocates family practice medicine through a variety of programs and activities including:
\n


    \n
  • Clinical skills workshops – In the past, the FMIG sponsored one clinical skills workshop to advance educational skills. But, this year, with the clinical skills rooms in the new Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education, the FMIG has expanded its procedural workshops to six: casting, suturing, spinal taps, airways\/intubation, arterial blood gases\/IVs and elbow injections\/lung sounds.
    \n
  • Inmate Outreach\/Douglas County Department of Corrections for Women Wellness Education Program — incarcerated women are educated on such health topics as sexually transmitted diseases, chemical dependency and pregnancy.
    \n
  • North Omaha Health Activities in Medicine – Second- and third-year medical students perform free child physicals each August to underprivileged families. In 2008, more than 172 children received physicals.<\/UL><\/p>\n

    Paul Paulman, M.D., serves as faculty adviser and Barbara Goodman, department of family medicine, provides support for the club. <\/p>\n

    The FMIG previously received the Program of Excellence award in 2002-2003. The group also won a 2008 Tar Wars Stars Award from the American Academy of Family Physicians.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
