Overview

In addition to rotations at Tufts Medical Center, our residents enjoy clinical rotations at two other outstanding academic institutions, Rhode Island Hospital (RIH) and the University of Massachusetts Memorial Medical Center (UMMMC), which are the principle teaching hospitals for the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, respectively. Each of these centers has areas of academic excellence that compliment resident experience at Tufts. For example, RIH has an exceptional multidisciplinary gastrointestinal malignancy program, while UMMMC’s head and neck malignancy program is a strength of that site. All three institutions have dedicated pediatric oncology units.

Our program provides each resident with a diverse and formalized curriculum. The curriculum comprises Bone & Soft tissue, Breast, Central Nervous System (CNS/Eye), Gastrointestinal tract, Genitourinary tract, Gynecology, Head, Neck & Skin, Lung, Lymphomas/Leukemia and Pediatrics. Rotations are typically three (3) months in duration, with shorter blocks accommodating individual resident needs and interests.

Clinical training is divided into three month blocks with rotations primarily at Tufts Medical Center, Rhode Island Hospital and the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. The program is structured to foster an understanding of true multi-disciplinary clinical management.

The Tufts Radiology Department provides the full range of imaging services for robust subspecialized medicine and surgery departments. Residents are closely involved in all aspects of academic radiology, including emergency radiology, oncology follow up, special procedures and pediatrics.

We take pride in a warm and collegial environment, with an exceptional staff and high faculty-to-resident ratio. Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to prepare trainees for the core examination, fellowship and provide a solid foundation in all aspects of radiology to prepare residents for either private practice or academic radiology. It is balanced with an abundance of research and clinical opportunities.

Our residents are highly motivated and dedicated individuals who annually place among their top choice fellowship programs. From there, they routinely become leaders within their specialties, across both private and academic practice settings.

Thank you for your interest in the Radiation Oncology residency training program at Tufts Medical Center. The medical center is a world-class academic center located in Boston, Massachusetts and the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine.

Our program specializes in producing well-trained, board-eligible radiation oncologists who have the experience and confidence to practice independently. We are committed to having a diverse group of trainees and faculty in our program and are inclusive of people of all backgrounds. Our medical practice encounters patients from a wide referral network encompassing a complete cross-section of society of all socio-economic levels with early stage disease to the more advanced or palliative cases. Our residents spend more 1:1 time with faculty and clinicians affording the opportunity to develop long-lasting professional relationships. We provide one dedicated day for didactic training. We are very proud that our residents have successfully secured positions in academic and private practice upon graduation!

Only one position is offered each year. The program is multidisciplinary, utilizing services in pulmonary, neurology, pediatric pulmonology and pediatric neurology, pediatric and adult ear nose and throat surgery, and dentistry. The majority of training occurs at Tufts Medical Center and the Tufts Dental School in Boston. To be eligible for the Sleep Medicine Fellowship, you must have completed an ACGME accredited residency program in anesthesiology, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology, otolaryngology, pediatrics, or psychiatry. Please plan to sit for a board exam in your specialty before or during your Sleep Fellowship training.

The goals of the Sleep Medicine Fellowship Program are to provide:

• Outstanding clinical training in Sleep Medicine that fulfills all ACGME requirements, and qualifies the fellow to sit for the American Board of Internal Medicine for the subspecialty of sleep.
• The necessary skills to practice clinical sleep medicine and/or pursue a future career in academic medicine.
• A rich investigative environment that allows the fellow to pursue their research interests (both clinical and basic science) to the highest level

Work and Grow in a Truly Collaborative Environment

The Department of Medicine at Tufts Medical Center has a long-standing history of excellence in patient care, teaching and research. The house staff recruited for Internal Medicine training is excellent. The professional staff consists of approximately 150 full-time faculty, 72 house officers and 145 fellows in various subspecialties.

As a benefit of being on the main campus of Tufts Medical Center, there is ample opportunity for collaboration with other Divisions and Departments on campus. Our staff currently collaborates with the Departments of Oral-Maxillofacial surgery, Otolaryngology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Cardiology and Anesthesiology.

Collaboration also occurs at the Tufts University School of Medicine, Tufts Dental School, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI).

The goals of the Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program are to provide:

• Outstanding clinical training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine that qualifies the fellow to be certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in these two subspecialties
• A rich investigative environment to allow the fellows to pursue their research (either clinical or basic science) to the highest level

Both goals are equally important. The staff of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Division is committed to devoting their time and expertise to guiding you in achieving these goals.
