Alumni are a tremendous asset to the Duke Health community, and our goal is to help you connect in ways that are meaningful and fulfilling to you.
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 Duke Medical Alumni Association Distinguished Awards Program was created to recognize those who make important contributions to the establishment and growth of the medical school and to the world of medicine. The awards are designed to honor alumni, faculty, and friends whose distinguished careers and unselfish contributions to society have added luster and prestige to Duke University and the School of Medicine.
Do you know a classmate, peer, or mentor who would be a great candidate for an award?

The Duke Medical Alumni Association is pleased to offer this wonderful opportunity for graduating medical students to build connections with trainees and alumni that can last a lifetime.
The Help Our Students Thrive (HOST) program connects current School of Medicine students with alumni "HOSTs" in the vicinity of their residency interview sites and/or in their specialty area. These discussions can take place via Zoom, email or phone. Conversations typically fall during the months of September - January.
