Our Culture

"I had a great mentor at Yale Med. Dr. Duncan told me, 'Go to Duke. They'll take care of you, you'll have a great career, you'll be great operatively, you'll have tons of opportunities.' And he was right."

--Theresa Williamson, MD, PGY7

Here's Theresa Williamson describing her seven years as a resident at Duke Neurosurgery:

 

"I work with a bunch of people who love the work they're doing. I work with people who are curious, who are always looking for better ways to do things."

--Allan Friedman, MD, Interim Chair, Duke Neurosurgery
