Duke Surgery Profiles
The Department of Surgery faculty profile pages, available from the Faculty directory, are designed to describe your background, research interests, and publication activity to colleagues, peers, and the public. Profiles also provide contact information and a professional photograph.
Profiles are automatically created from information pulled from various Duke University databases, including the dFac system (official source of faculty data) and the Scholars@Duke directory of research profiles and scholarly activities. Profile pages for faculty who provide care to patients are also featured at DukeHealth.org.
Faculty and trainees in the Department of Surgery are encouraged to check your profile to confirm the basic information, and to provide short descriptions of your clinical and research activities. You can update your profile whenever you wish.
