About Us

Welcome to the Duke University Department of Pediatrics. As one of the largest departments at Duke, we are dedicated to improving the health and safety of children in North Carolina and beyond.

Since our founding in 1927, we have focused on our missions of patient care, research, education, and community engagement to advance children’s health. Today, we are more committed than ever to providing high-quality care and excellence in everything we do.

Our faculty members are leaders in their fields, and their hard work, ingenuity, and compassion for our patients are hallmarks of our department.

As a renowned research center, we continuously strive for discoveries and cures that will make a significant impact. We research all aspects of a child’s life, from improving their lifestyle to addressing rare diseases, with the hope of making their future better.

Creating a training program to recruit, train, and develop leaders in pediatric health care is vital to our mission. We offer outstanding residency training experiences in pediatrics and medicine-pediatrics, as well as superb fellowship training experiences in nearly all pediatric subspecialties.

Our home, Durham, North Carolina, is a thriving city with a rich tapestry of residents and history. It is also part of the Triangle region, which has been consistently ranked as one of the top places to live and work.

Thank you for your interest in Duke Pediatrics. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the great work being accomplished in our department.
