All Family Medicine residencies require residents to conduct some scholarly activity as a graduation requirement. In Family Medicine oftentimes this will take the shape of a quality improvement project. Interviewers want to get a sense that you are interested in not only furthering the field of Family Medicine as a whole but also improving quality within your own residency clinic.

Show that you are interested and willing to do scholarly activities. If you have worked on a quality improvement project before during medical school or have ideas for one that you would like to work on now would be a good opportunity to briefly mention it.

"Yes, I would love to work on a quality improvement project. I am currently on a quality improvement project with a resident that I had rotated with before. The project focuses on the number of women who get their yearly mammogram in the primary care clinic."
