Why Choose Duke?
Dr. Tara Chandrasekhar, Program Training Director, Dr. Gary Maslow and a few of our fellows share highlights and personal reflections about the program, as well as what they love about Durham, North Carolina.
“I chose Duke to complete my child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship as it provided a robust amount of diverse opportunities both in the inpatient and outpatient settings. It is a program that truly emphasizes learning, and the mentorship is unmatched. I feel fortunate to be a part of such a warm and supportive network. Additionally, Durham is a great place to live with easy access to all things I enjoy (especially the food)!”
