Established in October 2020, the Department of Medicine Learning, Education, and Discussion Series (LEADS) is designed to showcase clinical excellence and expertise in the Department of Medicine with an emphasis on health equities and disparities and quality and systems-based approaches.
Background
LEADS is the conference series that addresses clinically relevant topics for all trainees and faculty members in the Department of Medicine. The presentation format is primarily Topic-based Clinical Updates presented by leaders in their field speaking on a targeted area of clinical focus designed to provide the most up-to-date clinical knowledge in every subspecialty of medicine and Diagnostic Reasoning Discussions in which a faculty member or the assistant chief residents present a challenging patient case to a panel of subspecialists for discussion on how they think through clinical problems to further evaluate and make diagnoses.
Additional special LEADS presentations will include the annual Duke It Out resident teaching competition, and topic-based presentations delivered by the current cohort of Duke Department of Medicine SEEDS fellows.
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.
