Welcome to the Internal Medicine Residency Program

The members of Duke's Internal Medicine Residency Program are committed to providing respectful, quality care to diverse patient populations. At the same time we contribute to the future by training leaders in American health care dedicated to evidence-based practice, humanism, and advancing the art and science of medicine.
  
The internal medicine residency at Duke University has a focus on academic (evidence-based) and clinical training. 
  
We attract a wide-ranging group of residents from national and international schools of medicine. When asked why they chose to come to Duke, residents cite the sense of autonomy and camaraderie among the housestaff most often. 
 
Duke’s environment facilitates the development of close friendships among the interns, residents, faculty, and staff, and stands as one of the key aspects of our program.
 
The Department of Medicine has a sincere and long-standing commitment to the recruitment, retention, and development of a diverse group of faculty and trainees, with particular attention to under-represented minorities and women.
