We have a number of volunteer opportunities through the Duke Medical Alumni Association and the Duke Alumni Association that will enable you to share your knowledge and experience for the betterment of our community.

The Help Our Students Travel (HOST) program connects current Duke SOM students or house staff traveling for residency or fellowship interviews with alumni hosts in the vicinity of their interview sites.
Want to help plan and market your class reunion? Contact Tracey Griffin Himmel to join your reunion committee.
Devil’s Advocate Dinners provide a unique forum where students can discuss career paths, specialties, and lifestyle choices with non-faculty alumni in a relaxed environment.
