VA HSR&D-DGIM Implementation Science Series: UNC’s Bryan Weiner Talks about the State of Implementation Science
Have you heard of "WIP"?
"WIP" stands for “Works in Progress”, part of a weekly Faculty/Fellow Development Series directed by Drs. Corrine Voils and David Edelman. The series content often covers educational topics but a special focus is the “Works in Progress”. In these sessions mentees present preliminary research findings, grant ideas, or perhaps a review of an abstract prior to submission to a meeting. They can receive feedback on presentation skills via a practice talk for a conference.
New Hospitalists to Benefit from Teaching Program
Beginning next week, Drs. Greenblatt (GIM) and Yanamadala (Geriatrics) will present their Teachers’ Workshop to newly hired DUH and DRH hospitalists. Participants receive a series of six 2-hour seminars based on the “Stanford Faculty Development Program in Clinical Teaching”, a curriculum designed to enhance teacher versatility.
These two instructors have collectively trained more than 1000 physicians across various settings, both in the U.S. and in several countries, the most recent in Singapore at Duke-NUS.

Q & A with Clarissa Diamantidis: “Trust plays a big role”
Clarissa Jonas Diamantidis, MD, MHS, assistant professor of medicine (General Internal Medicine and Nephrology), started her residency at Duke focused on cardiology.
“My father was a Black-Hispanic cardiologist with an interest in health disparities and access to care,” she says, “and I was intent on following in his footsteps.”
However, during nephrology rounds she became fascinated with kidney disease. Her first visit to a dialysis unit sealed the deal: “It was full of black patients hooked up to ominous-looking machines, with a striking deficiency of white patients. At that moment, I decided I wanted to study nephrology.”
Chudgar honored with Practice Course Professionalism Award
Three times for this one. Saumil Chudgar, MD, Duke hospitalist and director of undergraduate medical education for the Department of Medicine, just received recognition from the medical students, again from the second years in the Practice Course, recognizing those who demonstrate exceptional professional behavior in the clinical setting.
