Each resident is assigned a panel of patients they will see in continuity during their three years at the Duke Family Medicine Center. Residents spend one to five half days a week at the center, depending on rotations and other responsibilities. Residents work in an interdisciplinary team, teach students, and have practice management and quality improvement responsibilities at the center. They also conduct group visits through CenteringPregnancy®.

VA Prime Clinic
Located in the Durham VA Medical Center, this continuity site offers primary health care for veterans. It increases exposure of family medicine residents to veterans’ population and the needs of veterans.
Micro-Based Clinical Sites
The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health partners with Lincoln Community Health Center (a FQHC) to operate micro clinics Walltown Neighborhood Clinic and Holton Wellness Center. These micro clinics help ensure that each member of the neighborhood gets regular check-ups, preventive care, and easy access to affordable care for chronic illnesses.
Our community health experience is done longitudinally instead of a block. Starting in the second year, residents spend each Monday afternoon at a secondary community clinic of their choosing, in addition to their continuity clinic at the Duke Family Medicine Center. In addition to our community micro based clinics sites, residents can choose from one of the clinical sites below for their secondary continuity clinic.
