Internal Medicine Residency News, February 6, 2017

From the Director

Happy FUN-bruary! Thanks to Schuyler Jones and the Orgain Society for hosting a great kickoff at Hope Valley Brewing! Thanks also to Manesh Patel for hosting a town hall with the cardiology division on Thursday. We ended the week with a bake-off contest, with plenty of good treats (Erin, I hear the Nutella cookies were really good!). Check out this week’s calendar for more fun activities, including Thursday night’s GME-wide Duke vs Carolina party at Tyler's. If you are interested in getting involved in the happenings around the state and country, please contact Becca Lumsden, Johnny Komisar or Govind Krishnan - they have organized a great deal of information that you can take advantage of.  

Continued reminders to the SARs to sign up for the ABIM exam before fees go up, and to get going on those procedure logs before the end of the year.

Kudos

Kudos this week to our current night resident team for general awesomeness (Dan, Zach, Megan, Amanda and Nicole), with an additional kudos to Amanda from Ali Saadi for handling a particularly busy night with style and grace. More kudos to Tanya Aylward for an awesome chair’s conference - great case, great discussion and great attendance - and to Linda Koshy for her fantastic SAR talk on diabetes management.

And a HUGE congratulations from the entire residency program to Dr. Klotman for being named the Dean of the Duke University School of Medicine!
