andersenpa Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think it is useful for residency applicants to have a chance to talk to current residents or recent grads. Do you have a contact network set up to give prospective residents some practical feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakeMedPA Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I would like to announce that WakeMed's Surgical PA Residency has transitioned to a year-round rolling admissions process. We will now accept applications throughout the year for our program. We will be accepting three residents per year, with potential start dates in March, June, September, or July. Applications are typically due six months prior to the desired start date to allow ample time for interviewing, licensing, and credentialing. We provide a comprehensive education, focusing on pre-, peri-, and post-operative management of surgical patients, with exposure to a wide range of procedures and OR cases. Our physicians and faculty are dedicated to providing hands-on education to PA's. Residents in our program are integral to our multidisciplinary team and provide direct care to a diverse patient population. This hands-on approach allows our residents to become well-rounded and confident providers. Our graduates continue to be successful in their post-residency careers and have been hired to work in specialties such as general surgery, trauma, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, and urogynecological surgery. Anyone interested in our program is encouraged to visit our website or email me at paresidency@wakemed.org http://www.wakemed.org/landing.cfm?id=1624 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
