Andrew Muir, MD, chief of the division of Gastroenterology announced the first recipients of the Provenzale Resident Research Awards.
These awards were created to support research in gastroenterology and hepatology by Duke Internal Medicine residents. The awards were established with the generous support of the friends and family of Dr. Dawn Provenzale through the Dawn Provenzale Mentorship Fund. During her faculty career at Duke, mentorship of residents and support of faculty were major priorities for Dr. Provenzale. These awards are a wonderful testament to her legacy.
