Primary Care Leadership Track
Duke School of Medicine has created a unique 4-year track to train primary care leaders who can enter residency prepared to engage with communities and practices to help improve health outcomes. This track builds on a longstanding partnership between Duke and the Durham community to understand the causes of health disparities, create a strong research focus on community engagement, and learn how to redesign clinical programs to better serve patient needs at the individual and population level.
Duke-Johnson and Johnson Nurse Leadership Program
With their combined history of excellence in clinical leadership training, Duke University's Schools of Medicine and Nursing and Johnson & Johnson have entered into a unique partnership to create the Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program. Through its rich leadership and management program content, this program trains advanced practice nurses so they are better able to meet the challenges of the evolving healthcare environment. Fellows who successfully complete the program are equipped with the skills and competencies to lead healthcare teams to increased operational efficiency and improved patient outcomes with a focus on underserved populations.
Duke Community and Family Medicine Educational Programs
The role of the education unit of the Division of Community Health is to lead and support education/training programs that cultivate new health care leaders who can deliver effective community-based and community-engaged health care services to diverse populations, address health care disparities, apply clinical leadership skills to strengthen effective strategies for health and wellness, and serve as change agents for improved patient and community outcomes within an evolving healthcare environment.
Duke School of Medicine Community Health Elective
Population-based health care is becoming increasingly important in addressing health care needs. This elective helps students understand the concepts and practice of community-based and population-based health care. It is a dynamic course whose activities will change based on the Duke/community health projects active at the time
Learning Together
Learning Together provides opportunities for Learners to become involved in health-related projects in the community. All Duke Health Sciences learners, as well as learners from other academic disciplines, are welcome to participate.
Duke Health Disparities Research Curriculum
Racial and ethnic minorities experience higher rates of disease, disability, and death than their white counterparts. Research to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health is a national priority. Therefore, we developed a curriculum to raise awareness about health disparities research among junior investigators and to teach the skills required to incorporate principles of disparities research into their particular areas of research focus. Although this curriculum focuses primarily on racial and ethnic disparities, the principles, methods, and examples will be broadly applicable to other disparities (e.g., gender).
Community Engagement Practicum for Master of Biomedical Sciences Program
The semester-long practicum consists of student engagement in a variety of population health improvement activities and a longitudinal population health improvement project.
Duke Family Medicine Residency Program
The Duke Family Medicine Residency Program is dedicated to training family physicians who are excellent clinicians, leaders and advocates of health care within the community. We partner with a variety of local health care and community teams to meet the needs of various individuals, families and populations, with the core goal of reducing health care disparities and improving health.
