Caputo leads "Teaching the Teacher"
After Laura Caputo, MD, completed her Internal Medicine residency at Duke and became an attending physician at the Durham VA, she realized transitioning from learner to teacher was difficult and required a different skill set.
"I knew I could benefit from learning from those more experienced in teaching, and I figured if I felt that way, other people might as well."
