Background Family medicine is one of the primary specialties in medicine. This study aims to obtain in-depth information from medical interns at King Abdul-Aziz University in Saudi Arabia who are interested in choosing family medicine as their future speciality and highlight key points of misconception and knowledge gaps regarding family medicine that might affect their decision-making process. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2021 to October 2021 among medical interns enrolled at King Abdul-Aziz University. Data were collected via online questionnaires distributed on social media. The study excluded first- to sixth-year medical students. The questionnaire included sex, grade point average, perception of family medicine as a future speciality, and knowledge about the family medicine residency program in Saudi Arabia. We used IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0. (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) for data analysis. P
