Dear Applicants,
We are so excited that you have chosen to interview at Duke Health! Duke is a wonderful place to train and Durham, North Carolina is a great place to live. It is a booming place for young professionals with lots of amazing restaurants, bars, trails, and museums. The city is also a short distance away from larger cities such as Charlotte, North Carolina, the DMV, as well as beautiful beaches, and mountains.
Our residents are proud to serve a diverse patient population here in the Durham community. Our Minority Housestaff Association (MHA) was founded in 2018 to promote resources and opportunities for mentorship, sponsorship and community building while raising awareness of the social, economic and wellness gaps experience by individuals who are underrepresented in medicine (URiM). It is open to all Duke GME URiM individuals and supportive GME team members. We aim to foster a community of wellness for trainees, promote professional development through mentorship and forums, and lead service initiatives in our local community. We hope that you will consider training at one of our many top-ranked programs and become part of our Duke and MHA family.
Sincerely,
The Duke MHA Executive Board
