A Day in the Life of Nicole Miller: Third-Year Medical Student

Nicole Miller thought medical school was going to be all books and studying, but in her third year at Duke University School of Medicine she also does clinical work, research and community work, and she even finds time to dance.

Miller wants to give back to our younger generation – a pursuit that results from having been a pediatric patient herself. In the morning, she conducts clinical work and child development research through the Reach Out & Read program at the Duke Children’s Primary Care Clinic. In the evening, she helps feed community members through Duke’s Root Causes during Wellness Wednesday, an after-hours clinic offered at Duke Children’s Primary Care in North Durham.
