Contact Dr. Tebbe for information about current opportunities to get involved with research.
Additionally, students may want to pursue research opportunities through the DeBakey Scholars Program. This program offers medical students the opportunity to pursue and complete a longitudinal, structured, closely supervised research experience culminating in a capstone presentation prior to graduation. For more information, contact Dr. Derek Pociask.
The Family & Community Medicine (FCMIG) Interest group is open to all Tulane Medical students considering a primary care path.

Special Considerations When Applying for Residency
There are no special considerations when applying to this residency.
Doing an away rotation is a great opportunity to learn more about a residency program and for both parties to decide if they are a good fit.
Highlight why you are interested in family medicine and any extra-curricular activities which demonstrate your interest in primary care and community medicine when applying.
A great way to network and get to know more about a program’s “feel,” personnel, curricula and opportunities is to attend the annual conference of the AAFP.
