All trainees must apply for a National Provider Identifier (NPI). You must have a US social security number to apply. You will receive e-mail notification once your number has been assigned. Make sure your name matches what is on your social security card and use the Duke Hospital address and phone number as your practice location and mailing address. You will want to use this phone number as the contact person phone number as well, but you can use your personal e-mail as e-mail address. Contact person name and provider name are both you.

* Must be US issued social security number
** Use Taxonomy 39 as the provider type and you will not need to enter a license number.
