Upon completion of his residency, Wood was awarded a National Research Council Fellowship and returned to Boston for a year to research infections disease at Harvard Medical School. He then spent two years as an instructor at Johns Hopkins before accepting a position as Busch Professor and head of the department of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine.
