The Society of General Internal Medicine's (SGIM) annual meeting just wrapped up in Orlando, Florida.

Dr. McCarthy is currently the Vice President of Precision Medicine at Fabric Genomics, a bioinformatics company that offers the leading AI-based software platform for analysis of next-generation sequencing data for use in clinical genetic testing.

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) convened their Annual Meeting at Duke University this past weekend where approximately 200 guests attended on-site in Durham with another 200 virtually from across the country, representing more than 40 programs.

The Duke Department of Medicine (DOM) is pleased to announce the Loan Repayment Program to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in Medicine (LRPDIM Award).

This award is part of a series of mentored career development opportunities offered by the DOM and is designed to fund underrepresented minorities in medicine who, as a group, are disproportionately impacted by student loans. This financial burden impedes retention, recruitment, and diversification of research faculty in the DOM.
