Alumni Profiles

As of June 2007 we've had 334 residents graduate from Duke Family Medicine. As might be expected, the majority of our graduates are in direct active patient care. North Carolina is the most common location for our graduates. Approximately, 10% are in administrative, teaching and research.

Four graduates are medical school departmental chairs:

Duke University School of Medicine
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
University of Utah School of Medicine
Baylor University School of Medicine

A more detailed analysis of our program graduates is to be published in cooperation with the Robert Graham Center: Policy Studies in Family Medicine & Primary Care.

"I was attracted to Duke because of its reputation as a world class institution, where one can get the best training in medicine. At Duke I trained under some of the best specialists in the world. I had the chance to follow my own interests, including a month rotation in a Peruvian hospital for the indigent."
