• Psychiatry Residency Program
• Child + Adolescent Psychiatry Training
• Triple Board Training

Tufts Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency program is a three-year Advanced, ACGME-accredited residency. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Physiatry) physicians preparing to become physiatrists receive exceptionally well-rounded training designed to equip them to enter either academic or clinical practice. We accept three candidates into the program each year through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP)

One focus of our program is one-on-one training with experts across various clinical settings, each of which provides unique educational opportunities:

• Tufts Medical Center and Tufts Children's Hospital
• VA Boston Healthcare System
• Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital
• New England Spine Center
• Boston Children’s Hospital

Residents gain experience in various core subspecialties through rotations that include:

• Stroke
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• General acute inpatient rehabilitation
• Spasticity management
• Pediatric Rehabilitation
• Interventional pain
• General MSK & Ultrasound-guided procedures
• Sports Medicine, adult and pediatric
• Electrodiagnostics
• Neurology
• Orthopaedics
• Amputee medicine
• Orthotics and prosthetics

The goal of the 1-year surgical pathology fellowship is to prepare the Fellow for advanced practice in surgical pathology.  Fellows should have a strong background in general diagnostic pathology, and acquire skills though the fellowship training to become an independent attending pathologist able to practice in either an academic, community hospital or commercial laboratory setting, or pursue further subspecialty fellowship training.

Tufts Medical Center presents a rich diversity of cases including transplant pathology, cancer pathology (e.g., breast, prostate, lung, gastrointestinal, gynecologic) and non-neoplastic diseases. There are approximately 20, 000 surgical cases annually at Tufts Medical Center. In addition, Tufts Medical Center is one of two hospitals in Boston with a focus on cardiac transplantation.

The fellow will be mentored and will assume graduated responsibility for diagnostic sign out of cases with the surgical pathology faculty at Tufts Medical Center. The fellow also will participate in conference presentations, tumor boards, pathology laboratory administration, and the education of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine residents.

Although this is a non–ACGME-accredited program, the fellowship meets the American Board of Pathology criteria for Maintenance of Certification credit and is modeled on surgical pathology fellowship programs at other major academic medical centers. Opportunities exist to become involved in ongoing clinical or translational research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, particularly in partnership with other clinical services. Available diagnostic and research techniques include immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cytogenetic techniques and some molecular applications.

The goal of the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Residency Program is to provide a balanced educational program in both anatomic and clinical pathology that will generate graduates of the highest quality. Most of the residency training occurs at our home institution - Tufts Medical Center, a 415-bed tertiary care teaching hospital for the Tufts University School of Medicine. The residency program has a unique balance of academic- and research based experiences all with dedicated faculty and staff to guide and mentor the residents through their training.

Tufts Medical Center has a long tradition of high quality training with excellence in all general and specialty areas of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Graduates of our program usually obtain outstanding fellowships in subspecialties of their choice and most have achieved considerable success in either academic or community pathology programs.

The goal of this 1-year experience is to prepare the fellow to independently function as a primary diagnostician and consultant in all areas of hematopathology and clinical laboratory hematology. The fellow should have a strong background in general diagnostic pathology, and acquire skills though the fellowship training to become an independent attending pathologist able to practice in either an academic, community hospital, or commercial laboratory setting, or pursue further subspecialty fellowship training.

Tufts Medical Center presents a rich diversity of cases and the state of the art clinical hematology laboratory has the diagnostic capacity to support the diagnostic needs of patients across various disciplines and disorders. The hematology laboratory performs about one million tests annually and the annual bone marrow volume is up to 800 cases with around 300 additional consultation cases for lymph nodes and other biopsies.

The fellow will assume graduated responsibility for diagnostic sign out of cases and will participate in conference presentations, tumor boards, pathology laboratory administration and the education of pathology and laboratory medicine residents.

Each fellow will have individual hematopathology fellowship plans to assure meeting all their educational goals. Opportunities exist to become involved in ongoing clinical or translational research in the department of pathology and laboratory medicine, particularly in partnership with other clinical services.

Preparation and taking American Board of Pathology/ Hematopathology subspecialty exam is a part of the fellowship.

For the 2024-2025 Residency Recruitment Season, all interviews will be in-person.

We will post updated information (dates and times) on any virtual Open Houses and/or meetings that will occur with our Residents and Faculty later this summer so that you may learn more about our program and meet some of our residents and faculty. Once this information has been finalized, it will be posted here with a link so that you may join in.

Train and collaborate with accomplished orthopaedic specialists

A hallmark of our program is one-on-one mentorship and training with experts in the full range of orthopedic subspecialties. Residents work closely with our faculty to understand orthopedic disease processes while developing and refining their surgical skills.

Residents gain experience in subspecialties such as:

• Pediatric orthopedics and scoliosis
• Sports medicine
• Hand and upper extremity surgery
• Foot and ankle
• Joint reconstruction (total and partial)
• Trauma, including care of poly-trauma patients
• Orthopedic medicine
• Orthopedic oncology
• Orthopedic research

The Tufts Medicine-Affiliated Hospitals Orthopaedic Residency faculty is accessible and supportive, guiding residents through every stage of their learning and development.

Develop specialized skills at leading academic medical centers in New England

Clinical rotations are identical for all residents, enabling them to gain the specialized knowledge and skills to become well-rounded orthopedists with superior operating skills and decision-making abilities.

The first year of post-graduate education (internship) at Tufts MC is a customized, balanced and academically demanding experience. Interns spend six months in Orthopedics and the remaining six months in one-month blocks, including general surgery, vascular surgery and pediatric surgery, and a month each in the emergency department, SICU and Radiology.

Residents spend the next four years at the Tufts-Affiliated hospitals, each of which fulfills a specific educational need, including:

• Tufts Medical Center
• New England Baptist Hospital
• Newton-Wellesley Hospital
• Rhode Island Hospital
• Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Orthopaedic Oncology)
• Boston Children’s Hospital (Pediatric Orthopaedics and Pediatric Orthopaedic Oncology)

The Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG) Fellowship Program at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is designed to provide additional multidisciplinary experience and training in the medical and surgical subspecialty of PAG. This is a non-accredited fellowship, two-year fellowship.
