Do the Twitter Challenge! #ProudToBeGIM Week

Seriously. We want to raise awareness about ProudToBeGIM Week which is this week, February 25 – March 1, 2019.

Here’s the idea: we challenge you to post a short video (<1 minute) or a few words and perhaps an action photo to describe why you love being GIM. Then challenge 3 other GIM Twitter colleagues to do the same.

Staff Spotlight: Ashley Cabacungan

For this Spotlight we caught up with Ashley Cabacungan, a GIM staff member who joined our Division of General Internal Medicine in August of 2017. Ashley graduated from East Carolina University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health Studies and a concentration in Community Health.

We spied tweets from this event and asked Dr. Sata to fill us in!

This past week, February 13, 2019, over 50 local hospitalists, both physicians and advanced practitioners, members of the NC Triangle chapter of the Society of Hospital Medicine (#TriangleSHM), met for a business meeting at the Embassy Suites in Brier Creek. Our photo to the right shows the outgoing Chapter president, Dr. Mike Craig (UNC), outgoing secretary, Dr. Nadia Pasha (Duke), guest speaker, Dr. Lenny Feldman (Hopkins), and incoming president, Dr. Suchita Sata (Duke).

Several from GIM marched in support of Medicaid expansion

The temperature was in the low 40's when four clinicians from the GIM "DOC" clinic donned white coats over warm clothing to join the 13th Annual Moral March on Raleigh. They met, some with their children, on downtown Fayetteville Street last Saturday, February 9, 2019, to march to the NC State Capitol. This was a rally sponsored by the state NAACP chapter to raise awareness about racial and social injustice.

For this faculty spotlight, we are privileged to present Dr. Ranee Chatterjee (Montgomery). We want to introduce her personally and celebrate her new achievements.
