The Duke School of Nursing (DUSON) recently held its annual DUSON Awards Ceremony at the Christine Siegler Pearson Building, which was established to celebrate and recognize the excellence of its students, faculty, and staff.

As the largest, most trusted workforce in America, nurses are a key driver of mitigating harmful social determinants of health.

Michael Cary, PhD, RN, and Elizabeth C. Clipp Term Chair of Nursing at the Duke University School of Nursing, was appointed as the inaugural AI Health Equity Scholar in January 2022. As a nurse leader, Cary joins other Duke scholars tackling inequities in clinical algorithms used across the health system.

The committee is set to develop a conceptual framework for delivering essential health care related to Intimate Partner Violence during public health emergencies, like the COVID-19 pandemic.

The school’s exceptional faculty, research opportunities and commitment to identifying new ways to reduce harmful social determinants of health continue to garner recognition as one of the top nursing institutions in the country.
