Welcome to the Department of Pediatric Residency

Welcome the Wake Forest Pediatric Residency! We are very proud of our program, which provides comprehensive, well-rounded training in pediatrics to a diverse and 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 sub-specialties. 

Brenner Children’s Hospital is a tertiary-care center with strong community roots, and our residents care for a diverse and under-served patient population. In addition to our excellent clinical training, we ensure our residents are well-equipped for future academic pursuits; all residents gain basic skills in advocacy, quality improvement, medical education, and clinical research and complete a mentored scholarly project in at least one of these domains. Winston-Salem is ranked one of the top 50 American cities, and we are excited to share its abundance of outdoor activities, cultural opportunities, and culinary options with you. We look forward to welcoming you to Wake!
