Wake Forest University School of Medicine

At the Charlotte campus of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, we are educating the next generation of health care leaders in the heart of one of the nation's most vibrant cities. We welcome inquisitive learners to join our pursuit of excellence through innovative programs designed for a collaborative, supportive, and forward-thinking environment.

The Charlotte Advantage

Building on a long tradition of educational excellence, our Charlotte campus offers unparalleled opportunities for medical training. As a fully integrated part of Atrium Health, the region's largest health care system, our students learn and train within a premier academic medical center. Our educators inspire a spirit of inquiry and interprofessional collaboration, using innovative instructional methods to prepare leaders ready to serve the diverse communities of Charlotte and beyond.

The Charlotte regional campus of Wake Forest University School of Medicine offers:

One-on-one attention with attending and resident physicians
Top-ranked third-year MD Program clerkships
High patient volume, small learner count
State-of-the-art simulation center, where learners practice procedures and care of the acutely ill patient
Varied learning experiences
Health system science education dedicated to mitigating health differences and engaging the community

While third and fourth-year students have rotated in Charlotte for their clinical clerkships for years, the campus will now expand and seat its first four-year class in 2025.
