43rd Annual Medical Families Day
Saturday, March 1, 2025
9:00am - 2:00pm
Trent Semans Center for Health Education

Each spring, parents and family members of current Duke medical students come together for the day to experience first-hand what it's like to be a Duke medical student. Sessions may include mock admissions interviews, diagnosing a patient via a clinical skills demonstration, using team-based-learning (TBL) to tackle a case study, practicing skills in the SEAL Lab (Surgical Education and Activities Lab), and having lunch with the Advisory Deans.

Medical Student/Faculty Show
Friday, February 28, 2025
7:00pm | Reynolds Theater
The Student/Faculty Show is an annual event written, directed, and performed by our very own talented medical students. This year's show is entitled West Wing Story….and is a musical parody of West Side Story.

A musical that explores the rivalry between Surgery and Medicine, two groups of different backgrounds and interests vying for dominance in medical school. It’s a show that is brimmed with fun music, extended dance scenes, as well as tackling social problems and a tragic love story. Let the rivalry begin!
Past shows have included Sickened (a parody of “Wicked”), Duke’s Avengers: Civil Ward (“Marvel’s Avengers: Civil War”), Lube (“Grease”), and The Gunner Games (“The Hunger Games”).
