Hospital Medicine News

After a decade of debate, North Carolina is poised to expand the state’s Medicaid program.  A cohort of Duke internal medicine residents has been advocating for the expansion for years, playing a small but powerful—perhaps even pivotal—role in moving expansion legislation forward.

R38 scholar Aaditya Khatri, MD, PhD, is the lead author on a new study that offers a potentially novel therapeutic strategy for the prevention or treatment of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the leading cause of death in lung transplant recipients. 

Dana Clifton, MD, and Christopher Prater, MD, MPH, will assume the positions of Associate Program Directors of the combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program, effective July 2023.

As we recognize Women’s History Month, I would like to share some personal reflections on the gender evolution in academic departments of internal medicine over the past 20 years.  As one of the most senior women in our department, I have lived through these changes and am excited to see the progress we have made in establishing gender balance.

28 faculty from the School of Medicine, including 11 faculty from the Department of Medicine, have been selected for the School of Medicine's 2023 Duke Clinical Leadership Program cohort.

Hospitalists have continued a growing and vital role in care delivery at Duke Health that includes the important missions of clinical care, education, and research.
 

We are proud to announce the 7th annual GIM Excellence Awards, presented by our Division Chief, Dr. Ebony Boulware, in the video below. This year we have 11 different awards, including 10 individual awards as well as one team award.

A special thank you goes out to all those who submitted nominations for these awards and to our awards committee for their assistance in selecting this year's recipients. 

Associate Professor of Medicine in the division of General Internal Medicine, Saumil Chudgar, MD, was selected for the Senior Fellows Class of 2023 by the Society for Hospital Medicine (SHM). Those who have achieved this designation have a proven track record of promoting excellence, innovation and improving the quality of patient care in hospital medicine.

Congratulations to four General Internal Medicine faculty who received promotions to Assistant Professor, effective November 1, 2022.
