From the Director
Last week of October/Doctober! ZaasFam had more traveling for kid soccer, big weekend of DukeFam reunion for a wedding celebration and hopefully everyone had an opportunity to catch some fall sunshine. This week we have spooky pizza rounds, be on the lookout for some Duke Med trick or treat candy rounds and another Thurs evening with the #Dukefam out at Ponysaurus.
Wishing a bright and happy Diwali to all who celebrate!

Advocacy in Clinical Leadership Track
Attention interns!! Founded in 2012, the ACLT is an elective track for second and third year residents which focuses on health policy and advocacy. The ACLT is carved into your schedule during ambulatory blocks, taking one half-day of time per week. Participating in the ACLT does not change the length of training, though it may conflict with some other elective opportunities. The curriculum includes:
- Advocacy and health policy seminars given by faculty in government relations and health policy throughout the year, covering topics such as the legislative process, public health insurance structure, health finance, policy regarding social drivers, how to make a pitch, and more.
- Advocacy trip in the spring to either Washington DC or Raleigh, NC, alternating years. Residents create a platform based on issues they wish to address as a group and meet directly with lawmakers at the state and national level to present their views.
- Seminars in leadership and career planning
Applications will be distributed in November, and due at the beginning of January. Please email Dani Zipkin or Caroline Sloan with any questions!
