Faculty Promotions August 2023

The beginning of each new academic year is exciting and unique in its own way. One of the highlights for the Department of Medicine is welcoming our new Chief Residents as they assume their roles.  This year is no exception with a talented, new team of emerging leaders that includes Ann Cameron Barr, MD, Michael Cosiano, MD, Courtney Dominguez, MD, and Nathan Hirshman, MD.  Learn more about them in our special Meet the New Chiefs Spotlight.   

Duke Department of Medicine Faculty:

I have spent the last three months cultivating a vision for faculty development by listening to faculty  across our department. As a member of the Faculty Development Academy (FDA) in 2011, I understand the importance of initiatives that provide support for faculty to be successful.

The Department of Medicine’s (DOM) commitment to fostering an inclusive community of trainees, faculty and staff begins for incoming fellows during their first weeks on campus. On Monday, July 3, more than 50 fellows attended the interactive Stepping In 4-Respect workshop.

The School of Medicine is seeking clinical faculty to serve as Interprofessional Education Clinic Preceptors for the upcoming academic year. Along with other interprofessional faculty, clinic preceptors will be responsible for seeing patients with ambulatory care complaints, such as might be seen in an outpatient clinic or in urgent care.

Dear Department of Medicine Community: As we approach June 19, we want to take a moment to acknowledge and commemorate Juneteenth, a significant day in American history.  Juneteenth represents the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey towards freedom, justice, and equality.

Former Duke resident and health equity thought leader, Consuelo H. Wilkins, MD, MSCI, returns to campus to deliver the 2023 Clipp-Speer Medical Grand Rounds on Friday, June 9.
