The Pediatric Residency program at Wake Forest University School of Medicne provides comprehensive, well-rounded training in pediatrics to a talented team of residents. We train 14 categorical residents per class, offering truly personalized education and mentorship from a dedicated, multidisciplinary faculty encompassing all the pediatric subspecialties.

Why Winston-Salem. Why Wake Forest Baptist.

In addition to our excellent clinical training, we ensure our residents are well-equipped for future academic pursuits; all residents gain fundamental skills in advocacy, quality improvement, medical education, and clinical research and complete a mentored scholarly project in at least one of these domains.

Our pediatric residents care for all pediatric patients in our communities.
