She also serves as an attending for the Georgetown Family Medicine residents at Providence Hospital.

Dr. Duane received a Bachelor of Science with Honors degree and a Master of Health Administration degree from Cornell University in 1992 and 1994, respectively. Before embarking on her medical education, she worked as a research support specialist at Cornell, where she managed the daily aspects of a multi-year evaluation project studying the effects of case management on the health, well-being and satisfaction of elderly patients. She gained additional administrative experience as the Acting Director of Planning at Horton Medical Center in Orange County, New York.

As a medical student and resident, Dr. Duane excelled as a leader, chairing the Family Medicine Interest Group and National Primary Care Day Committee and serving in numerous leadership roles through the American Academy of Family Physicians, including the Student member of the AAFP Board of Directors from 1999-2000. She has been recognized for her leadership efforts by the American Board of Family Medicine which named her as a 1998 Pisacano Leadership Scholar and by the American Academy of Family Physicians, which awarded her the AAFP Bristol Meyers Squibb Graduate Medical Education Award in 2002.

Currently, Dr. Duane plays an active leadership role in the District of Columbia chapter of the AAFP, serving on its Executive Board as a Director responsible for increasing local student interest in the specialty. She has engaged actively with local area medical schools, and her efforts on behalf of students led directly to the establishment of a family medicine interest group at George Washington University in the spring of 2006. Nationally, Dr. Duane is delighted to serve on the Preparing the Personal Physician for Practice (P4) Steering Committee and the 2008 STFM Northeast Regional conference planning committee, as these provide additional opportunities to share her enthusiasm for Family Medicine with residents and students.

Finally, Dr. Duane balances her career as a teacher and Family Physician, with her role as a mother and wife. She is proud to be accompanied on this life’s journey by her husband, Dr. Kenneth Lin, and they are delighted to be parents of Isaac Thomas, their 1 and a half year old son. In her words, “what makes life and work so special is ‘family’.”
