ABOUT US

The National First Generation and Low-income in Medicine Association (FGLIMed) is a multi-institutional, national organization comprising first-generation college graduates and low-income pre-medical students, medical students, physicians, medical school faculty, and administrators who identify as FGLI, or support related efforts throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

We believe that the transition to cultural and socioeconomic equity in the physician workforce begins with the elevation of resources, community, and professional network for trainees whose strengths and perspectives drive innovation in the culture
and delivery of medicine.
