Durham is a great place to work, live, and play, and it is home to a rich, highly diverse, and socially conscious community.
The Triangle Region of NC, comprised of Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill—all centered around Research Triangle Park, is frequently listed as one of the top places to live in the U.S. Our residency program is housed in Durham, a beautiful city along the Eno River known for its amazing trails and parks, universities, museums, and historical sites. Durham has a rich and complex history, including its Hayti community, Black Wall Street, and prominence in the civil rights movement. Durham’s communities are highly diverse, both demographically and socioeconomically. While we are excited to live in a place with so much revitalization, we are ever aware of the marginalization and gentrification that occurs alongside it. Therefore, we hope candidates to our residency program will be just as interested in our growing city for its dynamic energy and great restaurants as they are willing to address social determinants of health and the inequities fueled by this growth.
