Graduate Medical Education
Supporting and Training Future Health Care Providers
For more than 50 years, WakeMed has proudly participated in the training and education of future health care providers.
WakeMed is a Major Teaching Institution providing residencies and teaching programs approved by the AMA's Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Teaching physicians are faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Duke University and Campbell University.
Medical students and PA students complete a combined 400+ months of education in our hospital system per year. WakeMed is the largest off-campus teaching site for the UNC School of Medicine Graduate Medical Education programs through an education affiliation that has been in place for decades.
Many physicians in the local community have graduated from medical education programs at UNC and Duke. Almost all of the 50 residents at WakeMed hail from UNC with a few from Duke. In addition, the WakeMed-Raleigh community serves as a clinical campus for many Campbell University medical and PA students.
