"Voices From Family Medicine" Project

In preparation for the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) in 1992, Drs. John J. Frey III and William B. Ventres conducted a series of extensive oral history interviews with a variety of leaders and educators in the specialty.

The resulting interviews, titled "Voices From Family Medicine," were published as part of a multi-part anniversary series in STFM's Family Medicine journal in 1992-1993.
