Chair’s Corner

Duke University Hospital has once again earned national recognition for excellence in orthopaedic care, tying for 6th place in the 2025–2026 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) reputation rankings.

I am thrilled to announce that Dr. Brett Rocos has been appointed Duke Orthopaedics' new Access Champion!

Today, on Administrative Professionals Day, we recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of our administrative assistants and support professionals. Since its first observance in 1952, proclaimed by U.S.

We are delighted to share exciting news about our PGY4 residents, who have successfully secured matches in esteemed fellowship programs! Their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence led them to this significant career milestone.
