Internal Medicine Residency News, July 3, 2017

From the Program

Hi everyone! Welcome, interns, and happy holiday week! It's going to be a good one!

Don't forget: Please send any of your news or kudos for your colleagues to Erin Payne.

Have a great week!

Kudos

Kudos this week go to Elieth Martinez from Dani Zipkin, who wrote: "Elieth contacted me on her day off from the MICU to let me know that one of my long term primary patients had taken a turn for the worse and was transitioning to comfort care. She gave me the gift of being able to see him and have a conversation and contribute to his understanding of what was happening. In primary care, we get notified of admissions, but not of status changes, in Maestro. I’m so thankful to Elieth for doing this." Kudos to Jacob Feigal on a great SAR Lecture, and to Megan Dupuis for an amazing Tom Holland lecture.

New Location for Employee Occupational Health & Wellness

The office will relocate to the sub-basement of the Orange Zone in Duke Clinic and will be accessible from the following two locations:

From Duke South Clinic:

  1. Enter Duke South on 1st floor
  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

From Flowers Drive: Enter the sub-basement of the Orange Zone directly from Flowers Drive across from the Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

Phone numbers for EOHW will not change, and Personal Assistance Service will remain in its current location at Erwin Tower. For more information, including a map and directions to the new location, please visit the Duke Human Resources website.

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/
