Family medicine is one of the specialties that IMGs have least experience. This video gives an idea about family medicine and it's many fellowships, and a brief discussion about the kind of work available after residency and fellowship.

I have a few links to share with you guys that would be helpful to make an informed decision shall you decide to explore FM in depth.
www.anymeeting.com/Soliman/E950DC83874F : This is the recorded Webinar about Family Medicine
www.aafp.org/online/en/home.html : to learn about the core of FM and pretty much all issues as well as some scientific resources
familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home.html: the public website of health info managed by AAFP; would give you an idea about the scope of practice
www.fpnotebook.com/: directed to the family practice doctor to help make a decision, more of a medical resource to practitioners rather than health education
www.theabfm.org/: the FM board, the entity of licensing and certification
we also talked about useful links to research places and towns
www.citydata.com/: gives demographic info about the area
www.greatschools.org/: the higher the school rating, the better and safer the area, in general
thanks
