About Duke SERG
With support from the Department of Surgery, Duke SERG was cofounded in 2015 by Dr. John Migaly, Program Director, and Dr. Shanna Sprinkle, General Surgery Resident. Duke SERG offers Duke Surgery residents and Duke medical students a unique opportunity to collaborate on ongoing research projects aimed at enhancing surgical knowledge, curriculums, technical skills, and behavior. The group has obtained three separate grants, presented at national meetings, developed an iPhone application, and written several manuscripts currently in review.
