Clinic Corner: DOC

Contributed by Lynn Bowlby and Greg Brown

Have you ever wondered where the idea(s) for different initiatives at the DOC came from? How do all the things going on at the DOC impact me in my day to day? What does it even mean to be a resident teaching clinic?

Time for some answers! In an idea that came from feedback around the TAGTEAM e-mails (thanks Jan!), we are proud to introduce DOC Dispatch!

DOC Dispatch will start as a (mostly) weekly e-mail. Each month with a new topic on some aspect of the DOC. There is no additional work involved (unless you have the honor of contributing to the monthly topic.)

It is our hope that everyone will learn more about the DOC and how we all add to the care of our diverse patients!

Coming next week, what’s homeBASE, anyway?  Is there a weekly hide ‘n’ seek game I’ve been missing?

2. Follow the signs to Clinic 1K
3. Take the double orange elevators to the sub-basement
4. Follow the hallway to the right to the EOHW check in desk

Among its services, EOHW provides employment and travel health reviews, treatment of occupational illness and injury, occupational health surveillance, influenza vaccinations, FMLA and ADA reviews, and employee wellness programs through LIVE FOR LIFE.  

 

Feeling down? Need to talk to someone? Opportunities for Wellness

All trainees at Duke have FREE access to Personal Assistance Services (PAS), which is the faculty/employee assistance program of Duke University. The staff of licensed professionals offer confidential assessment, short-term counseling, and referrals to help resolve a range of personal, work, and family problems. PAS services are available free of charge to Duke faculty and staff, and their immediate family members. An appointment to meet with a PAS counselor may be arranged by calling the PAS office at 919-416-1PAS (919-416-1727), Monday through Friday between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. For assistance after hours, residents and fellows can call the Blood and Body Fluid Hotline (115 inside DUH, 919-684-1115 outside) for referral to behavioral health resources. Another resource is Duke Outpatient Psychiatry Referrals at (919) 684-0100 or 1-888-ASK-DUKE. https://www.hr.duke.edu/pas/
