From the Director
Greetings from the PD Meeting in Charlotte! Drs. Zipkin, Boggan, Van Kirk are representing as well! We hope to bring a bunch of great ideas back to @IMResidency_Duke.
Thank you to Dr. Van Kirk, Dr. Cooney, and immediate past chiefs Steph and Matt for helping us arrange the second annual CHIEF DAY OFF for our amazing chiefs and their significant others! Y’all deserve it and we are glad you had a beautiful day to kick back and not answer emails! WE APPRECIATE YOU!
Other happenings …it’s the final week to fill out your ACGME survey so please take the time to do so if you haven’t already. You will get another reminder from Tia and me if you haven’t . Bridget will be sending out a sign up genius for end of year meetings for SARs (Aimee) and interns (Dr Hargett). JARs, we will meet with you all in July, so be on the lookout for that signup in the coming months. SARs, if you haven’t registered for boards, its getting to be the final few days before the price goes up so please make sure to get your registration in before that happens.
We are excited for our next How To Be A JAR session on Friday. These rising JARs will be our first trainees to participate in Stepping In For Respect upstander training, led by the fantastic Drs. Duronville and Sloan. We look forward to getting everyone this excellent training throughout the coming months.
We have seriously great representation of DukeFam at the many national meetings that are happening this spring. Our program leadership (Drs. Boggan, Mitchell, Van Kirk, Zipkin and I) have all represented at the various IM meetings (SGIM, SHM and AAIM/APDIM) and our former residents and chiefs are star studding these meetings as well (way to go Drs. Sloan, Pollard-Sullivan, Sullivan, Salinger, Saint-Surin, Il’Giovine, Geurink and more!). We will be highlighting our many resident presentations over the next few weeks so be sure to send your abstract titles to Tia and me so we can make sure to give you a shout out.
