There will be a lot of changes at Pickett starting July 1, 2018. Dr. Peyser has been promoted to Duke Primary Care Director of Education. He will continue to see patients and precept residents at Pickett but will no longer have the responsibilities of Medical Director. Dr. Rubin has taken on this role and Dr. Jeff Clough will take over as residency director. We thank Dr. Meredith who had precepted Tuesday afternoons and who will continue working with his patients at the new South Durham office. We are in the process in transition and are looking forward to the graduating SARs, the incoming interns and the coming of the new academic year.
