The Indiana Academy of Family Physicians (IAFP) hosts a yearly Research Day for Residents and Faculty to present their research/scholarly activity projects.  All Indiana Family Residency Programs are invited to participate in this competitive event that showcases both podium and poster presentations.  In 2015 the IAFP Research Day took place on May 7th in Indianapolis and was attended by over 140 family medicine residents and faculty from across the state. Attendees heard Original Research, Performance Improvement, and Case Presentations; awards and cash prizes were given at the end of the day.  FWMEP had a total of 7 projects presented (4 podium and 3 poster) and had the largest number of podium presentations of the Residency programs attending. FWMEP is proud to announce awards in Original Research.
