The Duke’s Department of Community and Family Medicine was established in 1966 in the midst of the civil rights movement with an emphasis on health equity and a mission to improve the health of people in their communities. My documentary explores the links between the department’s early roots and the recent re-design of the Family Medicine Residency Program to train family physicians who are excellent clinicians, leaders with expertise in population health, community engaged advocates, and change agents.
