Chair’s Corner

This week is National Nurses Week, an annual tribute to the vital role nurses play across all healthcare settings. It also coincides with Florence Nightingale's birthday, whose enduring influence continues to shape modern nursing and patient care.

April is National Occupational Therapy Month, an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the outstanding clinical care, education, and research advanced by our occupational therapy faculty, learners, and providers across Duke.

Today, on Administrative Professionals Day, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of our administrative assistants and support professionals.

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.
