From the Director
Hey everyone! Hope you are continuing to enjoy Doctoberfest and all things fall. It was great to see everyone who was able to make it to Boxcar on Thursday to enjoy some time together on a nice evening. Coming up, the GI Division will be meeting us at Ponysaurus on Oct 27th. Still time to guess the candy corn in the jar in the med res, complete the Halloween puzzle AND send in kudos/thank you’s to colleagues.
You know what goes great with fall? A FLU SHOT!! Please pay attention to your emails from Emily to see if you still need to complete this. Shots (or exemptions) are due by Nov 15th. If you get your shot outside of Duke, please make sure to upload to vaxtrax.
Do you have a voting plan? While online voter registration deadline was Oct 14th, you can one-stop register and vote when early voting starts on Oct 20th.
Kudos
Congratulations to Sarah Morgan and Dan Weinberg on their engagement!! We are all so happy for you both!

- WELCOME to new LPN Brittany Roulhac!
- Thanks to Conor Walsh for covering Dr. Patel’s Monday AM precepting shift – she’s now back in the saddle then and is also precepting Wednesday morning.
- PRIME is focusing this month on diabetic foot exams and on COVID boosters/ flu vaccines. Enrolled Veterans can get flu vaccine at CVS network pharmacies (CVS, Costco, Kroger/Harris Teeter, Wegmans, and Walmart – Veterans should VERIFY first).
- We’re continuing our population health drilldown for patients with overdue/uncontrolled A1cs and overdue mammograms and Paps.
- Interns will receive training on chronic pain/opioid management during October or November.
- PRIME staff and residents wore pink for breast cancer awareness (nice socks, Mark!) – a topic especially near and dear to PRIME this year.
