The program is currently an ACGME-accredited four-year residency, with four residents at each level (PGY-1 through PGY-4).
Beginning in July 2021, we are a four-year training program, incorporating the PGY-1 internship year as mandated by the ACGME. This first year of training will include 9 months of internal medicine, and 3 months of ophthalmology at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital, followed by 3 years of dedicated ophthalmology training.
Applying and Interviewing Virtually
The great strengths of our program are best realized when applicants sit down with our residents and hear them talk about the positive environment, the busy clinical and surgical experiences, and their preparedness to face the real world. These qualities are difficult to convey from a distance, but we are doing our best to put together a virtual tour and other video and written materials to help our applicants have the best possible look at our program. New for this application cycle, we will be having live in-person tours in January 2022, per the SF Match guidelines. These tours will occur after our rank list has been submitted, but before the applicants’ lists are due.
We want our applicants to have a comfortable and positive experience with the interview, because that is how we get to see the “real you”. Please know that we are highly motivated to make the experience pleasant and technologically smooth, but be patient with us, as this is a new process for us all.
We will also endeavor to be available to answer questions you may have about our program, or the process, and welcome any input you have as an applicant to make the process better.
