The Duke Surgery Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Scholarship is a funded fellowship position that will enable one resident to dedicate academic time towards the completion of both academic and operational projects that address the many inequities influencing surgical practice.
The intent of this fellowship program is to improve awareness of inequities within our community and in society at large, enable the development of actionable solutions to identified problems, and create a mechanism for scholarship that emanates from the work.
This fellowship will attribute value to equity initiatives and make it a component of the fellow’s academic profile and career progress.
