Medical & Dental Residency Specialties

After medical or dental school, physicians and dentists complete residency — supervised, paid specialty training that leads to board certification and independent practice. Explore 30 specialties below: what the training involves, how long it takes, the subspecialty fellowships each can lead to, and real pay.

Each guide covers the specialty in plain English — the day-to-day scope of practice, residency length, the fellowships and subspecialties it opens up, the training path from medical or dental school, and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics pay. Pick a specialty to dive in.
