Internal Medicine Residency News, September 19, 2016

From the Director

It's getting closer to Doctoberfest! Be on the lookout for educational, fun and charitable activities throughout the month. Also mark your calendars for the Stead Tread 5k to benefit Lincoln Community Health Center on October 8th.

Kudos this week to Sam Lindner for his SAR talk and Josh Lee for Chair's Conference. More kudos to ID fellow Jessie Seidelman from Aubrey Jolly Graham and her Gen Med  team for outstanding consult efforts, and to Rania Kazan, Steve Telloni and Suchita Shah Sata for helping with night float feedback. 

Thank you to Robert Diep and Rachel Feder for taking over as the leads for the Lincoln Community Health Center volunteer opportunity. We've been hosting Wednesday evening clinics since January and going strong. 

Congratulations to David Beavers on his engagement!

This weeks PubMed from the Program goes to Ankeet Bhatt for his case report in AJM: Curious crosses: injection-induced lesions.

Have a great week,

Aimee

Global Health Elective Rotations

The Hubert-Yeargan Center for Global Health is now accepting applications for Global Health Elective Rotations for July 2017 and March 2018. The application is available at https://dukeglobalhealth.org/programs/Clinical-Research-Rotations-Abroad.

 
Have You Logged Your Duty Hours??

With the start of the 2016-17 academic year, the residency program is asking all house staff to log their duty hours on a daily basis.  This will allow us even closer oversight of duty hour compliance across the program.  In order to use the MedHub mobile Duty Hour app, you will need to know your actual MedHub log in as it will not accept your NetID/password log in.  If you have forgotten you main log in, please go to the main MedHub site, and select "Forgot my password."  You will then be able to re-set it via email.  Lynsey Michnowicz will be sending reminders each Wednesday to those who have not yet logged their duty hours for the week.  Thank you in advance for your attention to this task!

 

Opportunities for Wellness

Feeling down? Need to talk to someone? 

All trainees at Duke have FREE access to Personal Assistance Services (PAS), which is the faculty/employee assistance program of Duke University. The staff of licensed professionals offer confidential assessment, short-term counseling, and referrals to help resolve a range of personal, work, and family problems. PAS services are available free of charge to Duke faculty and staff, and their immediate family members. An appointment to meet with a PAS counselor may be arranged by calling the PAS office at 919-416-1PAS (919-416-1727), Monday through Friday between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. For assistance after hours, residents and fellows can call the Blood and Body Fluid Hotline (115 inside DUH, 919-684-1115 outside) for referral to behavioral health resources. Another resource is Duke Outpatient Psychiatry Referrals at (919) 684-0100 or 1-888-ASK-DUKE. https://www.hr.duke.edu/pas/
