From the Director
Let’s go!! Match day – what a day. Super excited about the newest DukeFam, with huge thanks to all for your help in the recruitment process. Special shout out to Dr. David Butterly, Mrs. Dr. David Butterly and Kayla for all the behind the scenes and in front of the scenes work to make the Fam happen. Congrats to Duke Women’s BB for their win and looking forward to watching them win again tonight. Duke Men, what an amazing season. My bracket on the other hand, not amazing.
Welcome to the newest member of the Med Res family, Tyesha Holeman. Tyesha will be starting today in the med res office. She will be managing my calendar, taking over the lunchtime duties, supporting the med res office operation and more as she gets oriented and integrated into the team. We are so excited to have her – stop by and say hello!
