From the Director
Welcome to DOCTOBERFEST! Check out the Doctoberfest calendar for the fun happenings, including a Thirsty Thursday with the GI Division to end the month! Trivia has been going well, thanks everyone for your answers.
Things to pay attention to in the program … look for Pre-Interview Zoom Meet-up sign-ups as well as “My Take” sign ups from Kayla. We are so excited to have you talk to our future residents about Duke and the #DukeFam. There are also a few specialty nights to be on the lookout for …. ACLT, MRRC, Sexual and Gender Minority Group and “significant others of residents” nights.
Did you know that this year was the first official National Latinx Physicians day on October 1st? This day was founded to increase awareness of the need for more Latinx physicians here in the US as only 6% of physicians in the US are Latinx while over 19% of the US population is Latinx. For more information, see nationallatinophysicianday.com.

Pubmed from the Program
This week’s pubmed from the program goes to the combo of Gregg Robbins-Welty and Sarah Eckstein for their award winning poster at the National Academic Medicine/Psychiatry meeting … Methylphenidate is a Potential Augmenting Agent for Catatonia (Mentors Dr. Jacob Feigal and Johnny Komisar!).
