From the Director
Hi everyone!
Time is flying by here at the end of the year....only one week till you get to grow the chiefs in the lake. The picnic is a bit early this year, so it's unclear what kind of revenge chiefs can do when they have 6 weeks of power after being chucked in a lake!
This week, we had some more fantastic SAR talks from
Mike Chenier and Megan Brooks, a great DRH morning report on multi-dermatomal zoster by SAR
Jared Chiarchiaro (quick - what is hutchinsons sign?) and
Marcus Ruopp was fantastic at presenting a case of new onset lupus at "almost JAR" report. Huge thanks to
Joel Morgenlander for his shout out to
Stead rounds at medicine grand rounds on Friday. Other congrats are to
Phil Lehman for his election as house staff GME rep and to
Diana McNeill for joining the GME staff to be in charge of internal reviews.
Finally, I hope the awesome shoes on everyone were noticed on Friday, the first annual "great shoe day" organized by our interns. Loved it!

From the Residency Office
The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit
Congratulations to
Scott Joy, Kathy Waite, Anne Phelps, and Bruce Peyser who have been selected to present a 90 min seminar at the upcoming SGIM meeting on the Annual Medicare Wellness Visit. The group is also helping to set up the SGIM website so that folks around the country can learn how to provide this service to Medicare patients.
GME Concentration Applications - Extended to June 1st.
http://sites.duke.edu/gmeconcentrations/
GME Concentrations were developed, with support of the GME Innovation Fund, in response to resident/fellow and program feedback to provide critical content to better prepare physicians for practice in the current & future health care system. These Concentrations are being offered as an optional "minor" for residents and fellows, PGY level 2 and above) across specialties at Duke.
Residents/fellows will participate in development of their individualized education plan by choosing from a list of educational opportunities related to their concentration. Participation will span over the course of their training and last a minimum of one year (some exceptions may apply) resulting in the awarding of a Certificate of Completion.
GME Program Directors must approve resident/fellow participation in order to ensure this commitment will supplement training and benefit the program overall.
Expert champions have been identified to serve as part of an
Advisory Committee for each concentration identifying and developing educational objectives, opportunities/assignments, and assessment strategies. Committees will guide and assess the work of residents/fellows participating in each concentration and determine individuals' successful completion.
Concentrations include:
- Resident as Teacher
- Patient Safety & Quality Improvement
- Law, Ethics & Health Policy (in development)
