NAPCRG

Fellow Information

The North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG), the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) provide opportunities for students, residents, and practicing family physicians to get involved in research. In addition, many departments of family medicine have student research programs, and all family medicine residency programs include involvement in research.

We suggest you start with a limited role that uses your current knowledge and matches your clinical interests. By becoming involved with NAPCRG and as you choose to expand your responsibilities, you can learn research methods, data analysis, writing, and presentation skills. Most importantly, you can network with experienced researchers and identify a faculty mentor who can guide your interests and support your work. Family medicine research is research done by family physicians about the patients and communities that they serve.

The Fellowship Directory for Family Physicians, which is produced by the AAFP in cooperation with STFM, provides a listing for research fellowship programs in the US. To view the directory, please click here.
