Why did you choose Duke for residency training?
The attendings we work with are not only experts in their fields, but also love to teach. Our residency program is supportive and inclusive. As residents, we have protected weekly academic half-days for didactics, including dermpath, kodachromes and lectures that encompass both clinical and research topics. For clinical training, we have the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population at Duke, the Durham VA, and Lincoln Community Health Clinic.
