Recording, Filming and Photography
No news media, commercial, or promotional audio or video recording, filming, or still photography may be conducted at any School of Medicine or Duke University Health System facilities without authorization and advance arrangement through the School’s Office of Strategic Communication and the Duke Health News Office. One of these offices must be notified in advance when any press (external, Duke or student-run) or professional photographer or camera crew requests to come on campus for any purpose. A Duke representative must always accompany camera crews and commercial photographers while on campus to help ensure that filming is confined to authorized subjects and areas. Requests to film or photograph on the Duke University campus should be referred to University Communications and Marketing.
Please be aware that there are areas within the School of Medicine and the broader Duke Health community where photography and filming are strictly prohibited.
