Mary Klotman, MD, chair of the Department of Medicine, announced today that L. Ebony Boulware, MD, MPH, has agreed to be the chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine, effective September 25.
Currently, Dr. Boulware is associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and associate professor of epidemiology and of health behavior and society at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
"Over the last year, the Department of Medicine conducted a comprehensive national search for a new chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine, and Ebony was an outstanding candidate with the right mix of academic leadership, research success, and understanding of the challenges and trends in medicine in this country," said Dr. Klotman. "It’s especially nice to welcome her back to Duke, where she earned her doctor of medicine degree in 1995. I’m confident the Division will welcome her vision and enthusiasm."
At Johns Hopkins, Boulware has served as the associate director of the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research, and as a co-director of the KL2 training program within the JHU School of Medicine’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (CTSA).
Boulware’s research addresses interventions to improve patients’ access to optimal health care, shared and informed decision-making, ethnic and race disparities in health care, the doctor-patient relationship, comparative effectiveness of treatments for chronic illnesses and the benefits of population-based screening and prevention efforts. She has authored more than 65 peer-reviewed research articles, and her current research funding includes two R01 grants and a P50 Program Project. She was elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation in 2013.
Boulware is a graduate of Vassar College, where she majored in English. After medical school here at Duke, she completed her internal medicine internship and residency training at the University of Maryland, where she also served as chief resident. She moved to Johns Hopkins University to be a research fellow and to earn a masters of public health degree, and she has been on the Johns Hopkins faculty since 2002.
The Duke Division of General Internal Medicine, with 85 full-time, regular-rank faculty members, is an important part of the patient care, medical training and scientific research at Duke Medicine and the Durham VA Medical Center.
Klotman extended a note of special thanks to Gene Oddone, MD, MHS, professor of medicine, who has served as interim chief of the Division since July 2012.
"He’s been an invaluable member of this department since coming here for residency in 1985, and his own dedication to training physicians in clinical epidemiology has strengthened the entire Department," said Klotman.
