Our residency is a community of physician-scholars, committed to the best in patient care and service. Our residents represent all regions of the U.S. and are leaders in our department, running the clinical teams, teaching each other and medical students, participating in administrative committees that continually improve our delivery of emergency medical care, and contributing to research that advances knowledge in our field.
Committed to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Duke Emergency Medicine serves all patients, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, and religion. We are committed to training physicians dedicated to these principles of equality and diversity, and representing the patient populations for whom we provide care.
Our Growing Diversity
Our residency program values and emphasizes diversity. Our current resident cohort closely matches the US population in gender and racial diversity. Black and LatinX residents are represented in our program at more than twice their attendance in US medical schools.
