From the Director
We are closing in on some of my favorite seasons of the year…. We are way deep in high school and college soccer, and now it is FALL and then it will be the start of Duke Basketball. Coming up for the program in just a few short days is DOCTOBERFEST! Stay tuned for trivia (for prizes!), snacks, decorate your team room door contests and more, including easy ways to send thanks and kudos to your colleagues outside the program!
On the heels of Doctoberfest is of course RESIDENT RECRUITMENT!! The first recruitment day starts on Oct 31 (preliminary applicants) and then we are in full swing on Mondays and Thursdays for categorical recruitment. We of course need YOU to be our best recruiters by participating in the evening pre-recruitment virtual happy hours and the “my takes” on interview days. Be on the lookout for emails from Kayla about how to sign up. Many thanks to Yajaira Jiminez and Lilly Suarez for their efforts at the LMSA Residency Fair on Sunday!
L'Shana Tova and Happy New Year to all who are celebrating today!
FLU SHOTS are here! And required! Please make sure to get your flu shot or complete exemption paperwork for approval as soon as you can. You can get vaccinated on many of the floors at Duke, at your continuity clinic, at EOHW or in the DMP. Shots are also available at the VA.
