"Duke's internal medicine program is widely regarded as one of the finest residencies in the world. This prestige is founded in the people who make up the program. Beginning as an intern, I worked with leaders of every stage of the program, from fellow interns to the most senior faculty. From day one, interns and residents work with patients from all walks of life, and are trained and expected to provide extraordinary care to all. The program's leadership has crafted a program that is founded in a strong tradition of learning through autonomous patient care, yet sufficiency dynamic to adapt our traditions to the changing world of graduate medical education. Our faculty is world class, and while this is true for many reasons – clinical and basic research, global healthcare, and patient care – what impresses me most is the time they take teaching and mentoring the future leaders of medicine."

"When I think about what makes Duke Medicine special, it is not the national renown, the research dollars, or the range of clinical facilities. We have all that, but what it is really about is the people. This starts with our patients, from the medically underserved to the national figureheads, each with a unique story, ready to teach us if we should take the time to let them. It continues with our residents who are kind, professional, driven to learn whatever it takes to become the best doctor possible. Round this out with amazing faculty, eager to mentor and teach, leaders who are committed to the tradition of excellence that is Duke Medicine. I am blessed and proud to have been a part of this tradition. As a graduate of the Duke Internal Medicine Residency program, I am confident that I have the foundation beneath me to be successful regardless of my final career path."

"Entering Duke on my first day as an intern, I certainly had no idea what to expect.  Now, more than 4 years later, I have to marvel at what I found.  The environment at Duke has an air of energy, an infectious vibe that makes learning enjoyable and stimulating.  The Duke Internal Medicine Residency program is steeped in tradition placing value on hard work, autonomy, and camaraderie yet is forever innovative, taking steps to advance medicine to the cutting edge and train tomorrow’s leaders.  The city of Durham offers a unique setting for such world class medicine and allows our residents to maintain an exceptional quality of life.  Each day I am proud and thankful to have the opportunity to be amongst such a phenomenal group of housestaff and faculty."
