As a resident of our internal medicine program, you will interact with a diverse patient population and learn from our numerous faculty, who encompass the spectrum of subspecialities.
One of the best ways to learn about a program is hearing from the residents who live and work in it every day.

"I came to train at Wake Forest because of the people. Even through the virtual interview process, I could tell the people here were kind and provided a very supportive environment for their residents. The program is exactly as I imagined. I love the camaraderie and teamwork I experience here with my co-interns, upper-level residents, chief residents, and attendings daily.", Swetha Davuluri, Intern |

"It's really a special and intangible thing, when a group of program directors are collectively invested in their cohort of residents. You can just tell. I chose Wake because I could tell that it was a place of opportunity; that if you have an idea the people here will actively support you as you pursue it. In not just Winston-Salem but our entire region of service you'll have an impact, and isn't that the hope?", John Hunting, Intern |

"My partner and I couples matched to Wake Forest and by far what made us choose Wake was the people and the location. We came to visit and explore, and we were sold. The breweries, access to nature, art scene, and an awesome academic program with really great people are what attracted us to Wake. Since arriving at Wake, I have felt completely supported in my career goals, and I've truly become so happy and at home here in Winston-Salem.", Lacey Greve, Intern |

"I applied to Wake originally because it was a large academic center in the South with many of its own fellowship programs and pretty close to home. I ended up being impressed at how exceptionally nice all the faculty and residents were on interview day and how happy they looked with the X+Y schedule. It’s also convenient to have several hiking spots nearby and the beach a couple hours away for days off!", Cynthia Ponir, HO-2 |

"In the 10 years I have spent in Winston Salem, I have seen it change for the better. What attracted me to the residency was the camaraderie. Seeing how residents enjoyed spending time with each other outside the hospital exploring all of what North Carolina has to offer together was important to me.", Tomas Lucioni, HO-3 |

"WFIMRES has allowed me to create my own electives to support my career interests that are not typical IM subspecialties - public health and healthcare advocacy. I also love how accessible nature is to my humble abode in Winston-Salem. On my days off I can pick tomatoes from my garden, paddle on Salem Lake (10min drive), hike Pilot Mountain (30min drive), or camp in the mountains (2hr drive).", Amy Xie, HO-3 |

"Wake immediately stood out to me for its commitment to diversity, innovative curriculum and collegiality. In addition to excellent clinical training, Wake has provided amazing clinician mentors through the Women of Wake and Kennedy-Hopkins Mentoring programs, specifically matching me with mentors in my subspecialty interest of Cardiology. Being in the Tinsley Harrison Research Pathway, which I joined as a PGY-2, has been integral in my growth as a researcher and in preparing me to apply for fellowship. Our faculty are extremely supportive and will go above and beyond to help us achieve career goals. Living in Winston-Salem is an added plus as it is close to multiple major cities while being affordable with short commute times.", Alexandria Sutton, HO-3 |
