Our primary care physicians are part of a network of clinics and a continuum of care in the Duke University Health System. Duke University Affiliated Physicians is often called "DUAP." The network formed in 1994 and now covers 20 locations in eight counties serving the greater Triangle area. Over 95 physicians plus physician assistants and nurse practitioners provide health care supported by clerical and clinical staff including RNs, LPNs, medical office assistants, radiology technicians and laboratory technicians.

DUAP supports Duke University Health System's mission of education, research and patient care through the development and integration of a full-service primary care network.

Our services include:

• Primary care in internal medicine, family practice and general pediatrics
• Acute and chronic care management
• Prevention and wellness
• Urgent care

As a DUAP nurse, along with physicians, you will provide high quality and efficient patient care through a comprehensive primary care network.

Private Diagnostic Clinic
While not a formal member of the Duke University Health System, another affiliated partner in providing care is the Private Diagnostic Clinic, PLLC—an independent, for-profit limited liability company through which Duke faculty physicians practice medicine. Many clinics are on the Duke University campus, but many others are located throughout Durham and Wake counties. More than 150 outreach clinics are held each month in surrounding communities.

The Private Diagnostic Clinic is home to some of the nation's most talented and dedicated faculty physicians, nurses and other health care providers. The patients and their health are our staff's highest priority, and we are committed to providing our patients with medical care that combines safety, excellence and empathy.

The Community Clinics (PDC) physicians are also members of the Private Diagnostic Clinic, PLLC, with community-based practices. These practices range in size, from solo practitioner to multiple member groups. Community PDC practices are located throughout NC. Clinics are in the following counties at the present time: Durham, Johnston, Lee, Orange, Person, Robeson, Catawba and Wake. We also have a clinic in Danville, Virginia.
