Duncan Hite, MD

Duncan Hite, MD                                                          I am currently board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease and critical care medicine.  After completing my undergraduate and medical school education in Texas, I received my internal medicine residency training at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia.  My clinical fellowship training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine was performed at the University of California, San Diego, and to enhance my research skills, I completed additional training as a research fellow at Scripps Research Institute in San Diego.  I have been a member of the faculty at Wake Forest University Health Sciences since 1994, and currently hold the position of Associate Professor of Medicine in the Section of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine.  My areas of clinical and research interest are general critical care with specific emphasis in acute respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, ARDS, shock, sepsis and pneumonia.  I hold the position of Director of Medical Intensive Care and Co-Director of Critical Care Research.  As a tertiary care level medical center, we provide state of the art care critical care for a broad scope of critically ill patients including local residents of Winston-Salem and patients who are transferred from communities within our region including all of North Carolina and southern Virginia.  In addition, we provide opportunities for our patients to participate in ongoing clinical research studies that provide novel new therapies.  These studies are sponsored by a variety of agencies including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and are held to the highest standards for ethics and patient safety.  My responsibilities and interests also include the outpatient and inpatient management of patients with various forms of pulmonary vascular disease (pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolus, etc).  I currently serve as the Director of the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Clinic which receives referrals from physicians throughout our region including North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
