Curriculum Overview

The new curriculum focuses on the family physician as a member of a team that works to meet the health needs of the community. Our emphasis is in:

  • Team Based Care
  • Chronic Disease Management
  • Community Engagement
  • Leadership Skills
  • Quality Measurements and Improvement

The inpatient rotations will be concentrated into the first year, and continuity clinics will be scheduled daily throughout training in the second and third years. Procedure Training, Sports Medicine and Emergency room care are emphasized.

The leadership experience during the residency will allow physicians graduating from the Duke Family Medicine Residency to establish themselves as leaders in the communities they choose to practice in.
