FAYR-GP is a member of the College of General Medicine (CMG). The Extraordinary General Assembly of December 10, 2014 voted FAYR-GP’s entry into the scientific component.
Two FAYR-GP Board members were elected in January 2014 on their own behalf to the Board of Directors of the College. It is about Tiphanie BOUCHEZ, former treasurer of FAYR-GP, installed in Alpes-Maritimes (06) and Fanny CASANOVA, former secretary general of FAYR-GP, installed in Drôme (26).
