From the Director
We are closing in on the holiday blocks, with the second to last Med Res News of 2022. It’s been a busy week with another new member of the Duke Fam - congratulations to Drs. Joel Boggan and L. Lin Ong and brother Khai on the birth of Siong Min Virginia Boggan. Min is doing great as is the rest of the family. Also congratulations to Hannah Schwennensen on her engagement and a belated congratulations to Jacob and Taylor Pierce on their wedding (in October….😳, PD fail). Congratulations also to Dr. and Mrs. Butterly on becoming grandparents again with the birth of Camden Butterly!
Thank you to Drs. Zipkin and Rymer for planning a fantastic PWIM White Elephant event, to Emory Buck, Omar Martinez Uribe, Anand Shah and Dr. Gagliardi for planning and facilitating the first IM Res huddle discussion of difficult issues we face as physicians, and to Shannon Herndon and Emilio Guzman Cisneros for hosting narrative medicine.
