The Duke Department of Medicine has a rich tradition of excellence in research, teaching and patient care. Our research programs span the spectrum from basic discovery science through innovative clinical and translational health science research addressing the major healthcare problems of the day. We consistently rank in the top tier of academic departments in funding and high impact productivity.

 

Our outstanding clinical programs are dedicated to providing the best in evidence based patient care across all disciplines in medicine. Both our research and clinical activities serve as the basis for training future leaders in medicine through our widely recognized residency and fellowship programs whose former trainees are prominent among leaders in academic, practice and administrative medicine.
