Whether you’re planning to enter practice immediately after residency or pursue further training, the curriculum at the University of Wisconsin Pediatrics Residency Program prepares you for your career goals by incorporating core experiences necessary for general pediatricians in addition to allowing individualization of the curriculum.
You’ll rotate through every core subspecialty of pediatrics, allowing your elective months can truly be tailored to your individual interests. As part of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, you’ll also have access to robust experiences in global health, advocacy and public health.

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 #7 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.
