Our Residents, In Their Own Words

Our residents are one of the best things about our program. They are collegial, supportive and kind—the type of people you want to work with now and know for a lifetime.

In the videos below, get to know a little about them and why they love training here.

You can also meet the members of each class and find out their training track, where they went to medical school, and their hometown. You may have something in common!

The UW-Madison Community

Our faculty are genuine and invested in residents' success. Here, residents share why they belong in this program and the campus community.

The program is so welcoming and fun that you sometimes forget you’re training alongside some of the best in the country. That’s what surprised me the most: they really work hard to boost your self-confidence and make sure your residency is a truly enjoyable time in your life.

Individualized Experiences

We tailor the learning experience to each resident. Here, residents describe how they've customized their schedules to cater to their specific interests.

The X+Y+Z schedule has given me flexibility to individualize my learning experience. Given my interest in pulmonary and critical care, I have been able to do our point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) rotation every year. This has allowed me to be comfortable with bedside ultrasound and feel better prepared for fellowship.

Engaged, Kind Mentors

Our residents work with world-class scientists and clinicians. Here, they talk about our kind environment and their comfort with our faculty mentors.

My mentor took great interest in my career progression, and gave me insight into how to seamlessly balance a career in medicine and activities outside of work essential for well-being. Through regular check-ins, I was able to navigate the pathway of residency and post-residency plans.
