Original research findings by medical students and residents.
The FUTURE Conference posters showcase innovative projects from medical students and residents—offering new perspectives for real challenges in primary care. Once exclusive to conference attendees, these research findings are now available year-round to inspire improvement across the family medicine specialty.
Family medicine is a dynamic specialty; it thrives on innovation. The posters featured at FUTURE represent more than academic achievements—they offer insights from students and residents who saw a problem, tested a solution, and want to share what they learned to help others.
With topics like maternity care, chronic disease, procedural discomfort and vaccine hesitancy, discover ideas you can adapt for your own career, community or practice. FUTURE posters offer:
