IM Residency

From the Director

What a beautiful weekend! Even more amazing is that we welcomed Denali Grace (Garbarino) Ferguson into the Duke fam - congrats to the whole Fergarino family (DJ, Steph and big sister Feyla).  All are doing great and of course we can't wait to meet her!

Keep up that Doctoberfest spirit! We have a big week ahead of us with Night Float Hot Cocoa and Cider pizza rounds on Tues, a Great Bulls Bake Off on Wednesday, fun fashion Friday wig competition, Family day at the park on Saturday followed by Zaas-toberfest in the backyard Sat night.  Keeping y’all busy with some good fall fun.   Plus the sweet 16 of Pickleball is about to happen – keep us posted so we can come cheer you all on!

SARs…don’t forget to register for the NRMP as fellowship interviewing comes to a close.  Please reach out to me if you have any questions about your rank list. We are looking forward to you all having your hard work pay off in the match!
