Duke University Hospital Program
About This Program
The Duke ACHD program has combined the knowledge base of the adult and pediatric congenital programs with the clinical excellence of the Duke Heart Center and the innovative clinical research at the university as a whole. We have used these resources to educate our trainees in the care of adult congenital patients. We aim to educate house staff and students about the care of this population of patients who will be an increasing part of their future patient population and train future leaders .
