From the Director
Welcome Ann Cameron, Courtney (body double as DRH Gen Med SAR), Mike and Nathan! Chiefs 2023-24 are in the house! Stop by their offices and say hello. It’s gonna be a fantastic year! But you still have your chance to participate in the Chiefs 2022-23 Farewell Tour with the presentation of Residency Awards at LEADs today and the legendary Chief Resident Grand Rounds on Friday!
New interns get here for GME orientation on Friday and IM Res Orientation Saturday! Shadow morning emails have been sent to the outgoing teams and will be sent to the new interns this week. We don’t have Duke emails for them yet, but will send once we do so you can send a welcome email to the intern (s) joining your team.
June is PRIDE month. Check out https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2023/06/duke-university-durham-triangle-area-pride-month-events-raleigh-parade-celebration to see happenings around Durham and Duke.

You can catch the recording after you catch the awards LEADs talk.
