The goal of the Duke Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program is to guide and shape the careers of our trainees, such that each one can reach their full potential in whatever aspect of medicine inspires them. Program leadership and the Department of Medicine faculty view our residents not just as colleagues, but also as the future of Duke Medicine and medicine around the world. By providing a challenging but supportive educational environment, individualized learning and career advising, and state-of-the-art facilities, we endeavor to train outstanding physicians who are equipped to excel both professionally and personally.
