Duke Medicine Learning, Education, and Discussion Series

 

Background

In October 2020, the Department of Medicine launched a new continuing medical education series for our faculty and trainees.

The Duke Medicine Learning, Education, and Discussion Series (LEADS) will take place each Tuesday from 12 to 12:45pm.

Together with Medicine Grand Rounds, Duke Medicine LEADS will keep our knowledge current and our skills sharp while strengthening our commitment to being a values-driven, data-driven, and anti-racist department.

    Rotating themes

    The series will include four rotating themes, guided by teams of faculty and our chief residents:

    • Health Equities and Disparities in Medicine, for ongoing dialogue about diversity, equity, and inclusion — Laura Svetkey and Kim Evans (senior leads), Julius Wilder (faculty lead), and Sara Coles (chief resident).
    • Diagnostic Reasoning and Discussions, a case-based discussion — Aimee Zaas and Eileen Maziarz (senior leads), Alex Horne (faculty lead), and Lonnie Sullivan (chief resident).
    • Quality and Systems-based Approaches in Medicine, explorations of quality, process improvement, and value-based care — Chet Patel (senior lead), and Ryan Duffy (chief resident).
    • Topic-based Clinical Updates, to review internal medicine guidelines and explore new therapies — Anne Phelps (senior lead), David Leverenz (faculty leads), and Nathaniel Harris (chief resident).
    • Activity Director: Lisa Criscione-Schreiber
    • Program Coordinator: Jessica Nipper

      Credits

      Category 1: Duke University Health System Department of Clinical Education and Professional Development designates this activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Attendance and CME credit is tracked online by Duke Continuing Medical Education.

      How to participate

      Duke Medicine LEADS sessions are hybrid - offered on Zoom and in-person. 

      • Instructions for connecting on Zoom are included in a weekly email message sent to all faculty and trainees in the Department of Medicine.
      • In-person is offered in DMP Room 2W93
