From the Director
It’s the kickoff week of IM Residency Recruitment! Yes, its virtual. Yes, its different. Yes, we are still the BEST place to train! Yes, we still have the best residents, faculty, and staff! So, let’s bring it and show the applicants how amazing it is to be part of the Duke Family! Not sure how you can help? Contact Kayla, and she can make sure you are signed up to participate in pre-interview zoom nights, My Takes, and more!
Kudos to IM RES DUKE for being 100 percent flu shot compliant!

In addition, a Scholarship Oversight Committee (SOC) will meet with each resident in the program at least twice per year and help the trainee create an individualized development plan. Application Deadline: Nov. 30, 2020.
