Whether you’re planning to enter practice directly or pursue further training, the curriculum at the University of Wisconsin Pediatrics Residency Program prepares you for your career goals with the core experiences needed for general pediatricians and a flexible individual curriculum.
You’ll rotate through every core subspecialty of pediatrics, so that your elective months can truly be tailored to your interests. And because we’re part of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, we offer robust experiences in global health, advocacy and public health.

Professional Development
Residents play a critical role in teaching medical students and others on the health care team, as role models and mentors. Our program also has a strong commitment to establishing and fostering meaningful mentoring relationships between faculty and residents. Learn more about professional development opportunities within our program.
Advocacy
We support “The Wisconsin Idea”, which is a principle that education should influence people’s lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom, and the work of the university extends to the borders of the state. Learn more about our Community Pediatrics and Advocacy eXperience (CPAX) and additional opportunities for pediatric advocacy.
Research Opportunities
Research is a cornerstone of our department. In fact, the Department of Pediatrics is ranked #10 of 85 medical school pediatric departments nationwide for awards from the National Institutes of Health. As part of our residency training, all residents complete a scholarly project that will challenge them to answer a hypothesis-driven question generated by their interests. Learn more about the research opportunities available to residents.
