EnglishWhat Is medschool.duke.edu?
Updated
medschool.duke.edu is the official website of Duke University School of Medicine. It presents the school's mission across four areas — education, research, patient care, and community partnership — and publishes institutional news, facts and figures, research stories, and campaign information. It is an informational and institutional site rather than a course catalog, application portal, or patient scheduling tool, so use it to understand what the school does and what it prioritizes, then follow its links for transactional tasks.
What the site covers
The homepage organizes content around the school's stated mission and its public-facing communication:
- Mission areas — Education, Research, Patient Care, and Community Partnership are presented as the school's core commitments.
- Recent news — A newsroom feed highlights current items, such as a faculty member named a STAT Wunderkind, Hispanic Heritage Month coverage, and Duke Health's Pride events in Durham.
- Facts and figures — Statistics and key priorities are grouped under Education, Research, Patient Care, Community Partnerships, Global Impact, and Philanthropy.
- Research impact — A "Research Saves Lives" section frames how Duke research affects North Carolina and global populations.
- Philanthropy — The MADE FOR THIS campaign is described as generating resources for research, education, and patient care.
Who it is useful for
| Audience | What they can get from the site |
|---|---|
| Prospective students | A sense of the school's mission, priorities, and current news, plus links onward to education information |
| Researchers and collaborators | Research impact stories and institutional facts and figures |
| Patients and community members | Patient care and community partnership context, plus Duke Health news |
| Donors and partners | Campaign information and philanthropy priorities |
How to use it
- Start with the mission and facts-and-figures sections to understand the school's scope and stated priorities.
- Check the newsroom for recent activity if you want current signals about research, people, and community programs.
- Treat the site as a starting point: it describes and promotes the school's work, and deeper operational details (specific programs, applications, clinical services) live behind the links it points to.
One example of the kind of content it carries: a statewide hands-only CPR training attempt led by the school on February 25, 2026, which trained almost 20,000 participants against a 30,000-person goal. That item illustrates how the site mixes institutional mission with concrete public-health activity.
What it is not
The site does not present itself as a pricing, admissions, or appointment system, and no pricing or login terms appear in the available material. If you need to apply, register, or schedule care, expect to move to a linked Duke system rather than complete those tasks on this homepage.
