It's Match Day, and fourth-year medical students across the country have just learned where they'll be heading for specialized training during Match Day. Six students matched with Duke Family Medicine Residency Program, four students matched with Duke's Rural Family Medicine Residency Program, and one student matched with the Duke Occupational & Environmental Medicine Residency Program through the National Resident Matching Program.
Match Day is a pivotal time in a physician’s career, advancing students to the next phase of their professional journey and bringing them one step closer to realizing their goals in their specialized field of medicine.
This year’s class of interns have exceptionally strong records of clinical care, research, leadership, and advocacy. We look forward to welcoming our newest team members and seeing the unique ways each of them will contribute to our clinical, education, and research missions.
We’re grateful to the many department members who played a part in recruiting this excellent cohort of incoming trainees, under the leadership of Gregory Sawin, MD, MPH, vice chair for education and faculty development, and Sara Martin, MD, MSc, FAAFP, Duke Family Medicine Residency Program director, Alexa Namba, DO, MPH, Duke Family Medicine Rural Residency Program director, and Matthew Case, DO, Duke Occupational & Environmental Medicine Residency Program director.
