Welcome to Duke University Family Medicine Residency Program!

We believe family physicians have the power – and responsibility – to transform lives and communities. Our program is built to train compassionate, skilled clinicians who lead with purpose and advocate for health equity at every level.

Our residents are passionate, curious, engaged, and collaborative—driven not just to deliver excellent care, but to improve the systems in which they work. We match these attributes with a curriculum that is both rigorous and adaptable—offering opportunities for advanced clinical training, leadership development, community engagement, academic medicine, policy, and advocacy.

As part of Duke University, we leverage the strengths and resources of a leading academic institution while remaining grounded in the communities we serve.

We are committed to:

  • Training exceptional broad-spectrum clinicians with a strong foundation in population health and opportunities for individualized areas of focus.
  • Embedding residents in meaningful community partnerships that drive real change
  • Building an inclusive, psychologically safe learning environment grounded in a culture of purpose, growth, authenticity, and belonging

If you're looking for a place to grow, lead, and make a difference, we invite you to explore our program and consider joining us.
