Fast-paced Learning Environment
There is never a dull moment as a Duke Pediatrics trainee. Students, residents, and fellows encounter a wide range of health care situations, from complex health issues to routine care, that are part of a growing city and its surrounding communities. Training takes place in several locations, including Duke University Hospital, the Children’s Health Center, and Lincoln Community Health Center. This variety allows trainees to care for children with a wide range of diagnoses and backgrounds.
Research Focused on Children’s Health
Research is an integral part of the training at Duke Pediatrics. Trainees are encouraged to follow their passion and curiosity in their research projects. Our Duke Pediatric Research Scholars Program (DPRS) is an example of our commitment to research. This program identifies and trains the next generation of pediatric physician-scientists as leaders in developing and implementing innovative strategies to improve the health of children.
