Three times for this one. Saumil Chudgar, MD, Duke hospitalist and director of undergraduate medical education for the Department of Medicine, just received recognition from the medical students, again from the second years in the Practice Course, recognizing those who demonstrate exceptional professional behavior in the clinical setting.
And, three times he’s received the Duke Medicine Golden Apple Award for Clinical Science Faculty. Dr. Chudgar’s passion, his focus on clinical skills development, and connection with students are truly distinguishing.
Chudgar earned his M.D. and completed his internal medicine residency here at Duke before joining the faculty in 2008. He earned his M.S. in medical education leadership from the University of New England in 2013. His research interests include medical education, curriculum development, effective teaching methods, assessment of clinical skills and simulation.
