Duke Psychiatry Offers New Visiting Sub-Internship

In Spring 2022, Duke Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences established a visiting subinternship for a medical student from a background traditionally underrepresented in medicine to engage in a month-long clinical experience in an acute care setting. Sydnee Akubuiro, a third-year medical student at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, was selected for the subinternship in inpatient psychiatry, completing the rotation in Fall 2022. In addition to her clinical responsibilities, Akubuiro had the opportunity to attend mentorship meetings, residency didactics, and Grand Rounds.
