From the Director
Hi everyone!
We are really flying through the first few weeks of the year. So glad our @heytacoapp introduction went so well - we even got retweeted by @heytacoapp! Keep sending those tacos and also kudos to Elizabeth McCamic and me. We love hearing about all the good work you do.
Please see "From the Residency Office" tab below for details on an event for trainees by the Program for Women in Internal Medicine. "Before They Were Stars" is a series that highlights the personal and professional narratives from some of our stellar Department of Medicine faculty.

Kudos
Kudos this week go to Jon Reichstein and Tareq Aljurf for two awesome Chairs Conferences this past week. Also kudos to Ahmad Mourad from Jeff Lee for being a great Duke GM SAR. I will send kudos to my team as well - Micah Schub, Kristin Corey, medical students Thao Nguyen and Parth Chodovadia and our night JARs Felicia Cao and Joyce Hwang. Awesome work all week!
PubMed from the Program
This week’s pubmed from the program goes to Chelsea Perfect for her recent publication in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, "Geriatrics Scholarly Concentration Programs Among U.S. Medical Schools."
Have a great week!
