Duke Emergency Medicine

Our all-star US fellows @_DeniseElizondo and Nina Angeles teaching our new interns the basics of #POCUS @dukeemergency

I know tomorrow will be just another day, and the work will remain the same. But I want to express gratitude to the many people who continue to help shape my career, like my family, mentors, learners & patients. Looking forward to the next chapter in this journey. 🏔️

This morning we welcomed Dr. Bri Steele from Central Maine Health who presented at our US Fellowship Didactics. She discussed her experience using #POCUS in a critical access setting: ➡️ rapid diagnosis ex. DVT, late OB ➡️ preventing unnecessary transfers ➡️ amazing saves!

Our Duke EM Core Faculty Retreat was all about reflection, inspiration, and bold next steps. We celebrated our wins and set transformational goals, with incredible updates from Ultrasound, EMS, UME, Simulation, and Scholarly Activity. Here’s to going #ToTheMoon & Beyond 🚀🌟

Grateful for a powerful Duke EM Resident Retreat—filled with reflection, celebration, and growth. Big thanks to Dr. Broder, our incredible chiefs (Vigue, Tran, Bouyea), and APDs (Natesan, Kennedy, Gordon) for leading with heart and vision. #ToTheMoon 🚀 #DukeEM
