Strengths of the Program

Faculty, staff, and residents work together well and are always supportive of one another. Leadership is kind, helpful, and emphasizes wellness. The program at Duke allows for outstanding clinical training as well as access to strong research opportunities. I’m overjoyed to be returning to Duke for residency training and to be living in Durham again!
