Residency News

From the Director

We are closing in on some of my favorite seasons of the year…. We are way deep in high school and college soccer, and now it is FALL and then it will be the start of Duke Basketball.  Coming up for the program in just a few short days is DOCTOBERFEST!  Stay tuned for trivia (for prizes!), snacks, decorate your team room door contests and more, including easy ways to send thanks and kudos to your colleagues outside the program!

BIG NEWS this week is the overwhelming success of the Stead Tread!! Such amazing work by the Stead Tread team, led by former Duke IM Chiefs Dr. Caroline Sloan with mentorship by Dr.

From the Director

Countdown to Stead Tread!! Super proud of our organizing team – got a big Med Res Shoutout for all of you next Monday after the run – for crushing it on the HYPE, planning, outreach and partnerships across Durham.  Weather looks favorable and a great time should be had by all for an even greater cause.  It’s not too late to register!

Countdown to Stead Tread! We are fully in September now and the big race is just a few weeks away! Looking forward to seeing many of you there. Thanks ResCo for planning the first Thirsty Thursday last week.  We are working on scheduling some nights where you can mingle with attendings and fellows as well ….keep an eye out for the dates!

Closing in on the month of September! Lots of fun at the intern retreat (thanks Dr. Cooney for your home!). Big thanks to Kayla Humphreys for her work on making the retreat run smoothly! Big thanks to our SARs and JARs for covering so the interns could spend some learning and bonding time together.

Big week this week! We have the Intern Retreat on Thursday, the ITE continues and our SARs are racking up in the interviews! Plus the students are starting their clerkships! Dr. Butterly and I have met with almost all of the interns and it will be starting to be time for JARs and SARs to check in with their advisors for their fall check in meetings. Please always reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
