The Duke Division of General Internal Medicine celebrated the holiday season this past Thursday, December 7, at the beautiful Cotton Room in the Golden Belt District of Downtown Durham.

Dr. Kevin Schulman's primary research interests and renown stem from health services research and policy, so it's no surprise his opinion article was recently published in The Hill, an American political journalism newspaper and website published in Washington, DC.

Farr Curlin, MD, Professor of Medicine in DGIM and Palliative Medicine Specialist, recently traveled to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, to give a  talk on his experience with end of life care.

The Duke Division of General Internal Medicine celebrated the holiday season this past Thursday, December 7, at the beautiful Cotton Room in the Golden Belt District of Downtown Durham. The room looked like a winter wonderland, complete with snow-dusted evergreen trees and a cozy fireplace. This annual celebration is a wonderful way to mingle with other faculty and staff members in the division in a relaxed setting complete with delicious food, desserts and drinks.
