Access to Medical Care
Establishing and maintaining a relationship with a primary care provider is an important part of resident and fellow well-being, and scheduling appointments can be difficult. Duke GME has partnered with Duke Primary Care (DPC) to make scheduling appointments for residents, fellows, and their families easy and quick. DPC sponsors a concierge scheduling phone line available only to GME trainees (866-303-3659). Calls are answered promptly, and schedulers provide maximal flexibility to arrange appointments for trainees and their immediate family at one of multiple locations across the Triangle. Telehealth visits and select evening and weekend appointments are available. After hours trainees can reach out by email at DPCCallCenterAdministration@dm.duke.edu. Go here for more information.
Personal Assistance Services (PAS) is a free, confidential counseling service, available to all employees and their immediate families. Contact info is (919) 416-1727 and there is a link on the MedHub page. There are dedicated GME Prime Time appointments at 7 a.m., 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and 7 p.m. reserved for GME trainees.
Alternatively, PAS counselors can provide you with a list of community mental health providers that accept Duke insurance. To receive a current list of accepting providers, call PAS so that you can be matched with appropriate services. DPC primary care is another available resource for mental health services (see scheduling information above).
