Women's History Month is a time for learning about the past and looking to the future. These essays reflect a sub-theme of the challenges women in medicine still face today - and what they are grateful for in their professional journeys. While we celebrate the women of medicine in March, listening to their voices helps us all better understand ourselves and how we can all make a difference in the struggle for equality.

The Duke Internal Medicine Residency Program and the Duke Department of Medicine congratulate newly matched medical students who participated in the 2023 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.

 Nominations must be received electronically by the Office of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at EDI@dm.duke.edu no later than March 6, 2023.

The Department of Medicine (DOM) Research Development Council (RDC) is dedicated to supporting investigators, particularly junior faculty. One of the most successful means by which the RDC does so is through concept reviews, a process by which grant applicants present their research to a panel of Duke science experts prior to submission. 

DOM faculty Rasheed Gbadegesin, MD, and Christopher Kontos, MD, share the importance of training future physician-scientists
