The Duke Internal Medicine Residency Program and the Duke Department of Medicine congratulate newly matched medical students who participated in the 2022 National Resident Matching Program.  We are especially excited to welcome our newest intern class! We cannot wait for you to join us here in Durham.

The Division of General Internal Medicine is pleased to share with you our Annual Report for the 2021 calendar year. This past year we continued to build upon our tradition of excellence as we grew in new and exciting directions.

Assistant Professor of Medicine (General Internal Medicine), Caroline Sloan, MD, was accepted into the 2022-23 class of SGIM’s Leadership in Health Policy (LEAHP) Program.

Katherine Collins, PhD, one of the current Duke Center for Applied Genomics & Precision Medicine’s post-doctoral fellows in genomic medicine research, published a paper in the Translational Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (TJACSM) characterizing the timing and self-reported determinants of exercise intervention dropout among sedentary adults with overweight or obesity. The study also sought to explore variations in adherence among individuals who completed the 6- to 8-month structured exercise intervention.

The February 22, 2022, session of Duke Medicine LEADS featured Jonathan Bae, MD presenting on "Change Management 101." 

Pearls

1. Crucial ingredients include clear vision, stakeholder engagement, communication, and leadership.
2. Be prepared to, and embrace, failure early and often.
3. Culture change is hard and takes a long time.
