From the Director
WE DID IT! Thanks to all for an awesome recruitment effort! It takes the whole #dukefamily to bring in a great new class, and we appreciate everyone’s hard work with dinners, tours, my takes, talking with applicants, amazing reports, phenomenal chair’s conferences, etc., etc. to make it happen. Special thanks to our Dave B. and our Med Res recruitment crew for your hard work, with a big kudos to Ernest for stepping into the recruitment role this year!
We had a great time celebrating Dr. G’s birthday at the “Pro-state Bowl” yesterday in Forest Hills Park. Many thanks to the residents, faculty, fellows and significant others who helped make this happen. And Happy Birthday Dr. G!
Kudos

Clinic Corner: Ambulatory
Contributed by Daniella Zipkin
Ambulatory Threads
We have heard your feedback on the threads and we are delighted that, by and large, things are going well! This half of the year, Winn did a lot of adjusting to make the issues with travel distance easier. We are grateful that academic half day has also been going well, and we are sharing your feedback with attendings. Please keep your thoughts and ideas coming!
Morning Report
We have heard your feedback regarding some repetition and other concerns with morning report, and we are strategizing some changes to freshen things up. Stay tuned!
Primary Care “Immersion” Blocks
We are building a format where residents going into primary care can link two ambulatory blocks in their SAR year to build a month long experience that will include seminars with GIM faculty and opportunities to have clinical and leadership experiences outside of your continuity clinic. Details coming soon! If you are considering primary care and haven’t shared that yet, please do let Dani know.
