A Duke Medical Student Musical Tribute to Health Care Heroes

This year, as part of the annual Duke Med Student Faculty Show, a medical student-run, student-performed musical that raises money for a local charity, the students created a special performance that was dedicated to our Healthcare Heroes titled “Everyday." 

The Student Faculty Show is traditionally performed on a Duke theater stage, but this year because of the pandemic, the show was redesigned to create COVID-safe spaces for script-writing, choreography, rehearsing, filming and video production. Despite these challenges, the program aired as the first-ever, fully-virtual Student Faculty Show. The cast raised $20,000 for El Futuro, a Durham organization that connects Spanish speaking immigrants with mental health services.
