Strengths of the Program
The program is responsive to resident needs. The attendings that I have worked with are great teachers and invested in our learning. At Duke, we have access to a large network of mentors and opportunities to explore a wide range of professional interests. I genuinely enjoy working with my co-interns and hanging out with them outside of work. Additionally, Durham is a great place to live and the area continues to grow.
