Beginning this fall, the Precision Health and Medicine Bass Connections team will work to further develop and expand the infrastructure for the WearDuke Initiative – a campus initiative to promote student health awareness and engagement.

A few years ago, Dr. Paul Lantos received a Duke Education and Research in China (ERIC) grant to train students in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which are digital tools for disease mapping.

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."
