Internal Medicine Residency News, Oct. 2, 2017

From the Director

Hi Everyone!

Happy October! Looking forward to all the DOCTOBERFEST fun. Thank you to Becca Lumsden and Erin Payne for arranging the first monthly Social Action Committee volunteer opportunity last week (RES-I-TEERING!) - making bunk beds at Families Moving Forward in Durham. What a cool idea and opportunity to give back to our community. Also many thanks to Megan Gillum and Johnny Komisar for leading the discussion at the GIM Journal Club this past week. We had a great kickoff to the Learning Health Systems Training Program this week as well – participants include Lara Kapp, Shannon NIedermeyer, Shaki Salvador, Ben Ranard, Steph Garbarino, David Sterken, Nate Moulton, renal fellow Niraj Kothari and surgery resident Shanna Sprinkle. Looking forward to the many great projects this year.

Congratulations to Ashley Naughton on the birth of Theo! We can’t wait to meet him!

Kudos

Other kudos go to Leah Machen from Stephen Kimani for being an amazing co-resident in helping out others with their interview coverage, to Mike Grant for covering two dayfloat teams at the VA, to Caroline (putting the Slo in SloDuMas) Sloan for an outstanding SAR talk on endocrine emergencies, to Ashley Spann from Ben Ranard and the VA JARs for her work as ACR helping with CPRS templates, sending out report summaries, and generally being awesome, to Ankeet Bhatt and David Sterken from Eric Wei for their tremendous teaching and team leadership on Duke Gen Med, and to Shannon Niedermeyer from Todd Brophy for excellent care of patients in PRIME clinic.

Many congratulations to those who submitted Stead grants this year. Our awardees are Sky Vanderburg, Irena Tan, Kent Feng, Nicole Pristera, JP Shoup, Lauren Sharan, Annie Reihman, Ben Ranard, Jim Isaac and Manisha Bhattacharya.
