Three Department of Medicine faculty members are among the 2011 graduates of the Chancellor's Clinical Leadership in Academic Medicine Program (CCHAMP), a six-and-a-half-day program delivered over six months to provide education and training that strengthens the pipeline for Duke Medicine's next round of leaders and supports the institution and its culture through engagement and innovation.
Participants in CCHAMP work in small groups to study an issue faced by Duke Medicine, and finish with a presentation that proposes a health system course of action. The CCHAMP graduation ceremony this week included these presentations:
- Kimberley Evans, MD, assistant professor of medicine (Nephrology), and Jason Stout, MD, MHS, associate professor of medicine (Infectious Diseases), were part of a group that presented "Optimizing Patient Access & Scheduling Efficiency via Intelligent Overbooking."
- Laura DeCastro, MD, associate professor of medicine (Hematology), was part of a group that presented "Finding BALANCE through Clinical Care Redesign: Predicting Hospital Readmissions."
