GME Resident + Fellow Life

Resident + Fellow Life
Your journey as a resident or fellow at Tufts Medicine goes beyond clinical training. With a strong focus on wellness, leadership and community, we provide the resources and support you need to succeed both in and outside of the hospital.

More than training: Support, growth + balance

At Tufts Medicine, we know residency is demanding, so we make sure you have the support you need—both in and outside of training. Our GME office brings residents together across programs, creating space to connect, collaborate and make your voices heard.

As a smaller academic medical center, we offer a more personalized experience. You’ll work closely with faculty who are invested in your growth, getting hands-on training and real mentorship. You’re never just a name on a list—you’re part of a community.

Living in New England means easy access to everything—championship sports, ocean views, mountain trails and a city full of history, culture, and top-tier food. Whether you’re exploring Boston or heading out for a weekend adventure, there’s always something to do.

Our strong ties with Tufts University, Tufts University School of Medicine, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, clinical affiliates, and a broad physician network give you the connections and opportunities to grow your career.
