Clinic Corner: Pickett Road

Contributed by Sharon Rubin

We have had positive changes at Pickett Road. We welcomed our new interns to the Pickett Road Family. All interns have their bio's on the DPC website and with the Lead week we can get their videos on line as well as pictures. We welcome our new HCA Derrik Keddington, who is helping to make improvements in the clinics. Due to Dr. Peyser we are increasing our CME opportunities with two speakers a month, the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays. These speakers come and teach about common outpatient dilemmas faced by PCPs. We have the 3rd Tuesday of the month as our MKSAP Tuesday to help keep the faculty updated and ready with MOC. The LEAD weeks have new opportunities for teaching, learning about the DPC administration, being a voice as a resident in the DPC organization.

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/
