Residency program mission statement

The Tufts Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency Program is dedicated to training well-rounded, patient-centered​ and highly skilled physicians and problem solvers who will serve society as clinicians, educators, researchers​ and leaders. Our residents develop these skills through rigorous clinical training and caring for complex patients in a collegial, close-knit​ and supportive environment that values camaraderie, teamwork​ and friendship. We support the development of our trainees through supervised autonomy and longitudinal mentorship, fostering a growth mindset. Located in the heart of Boston’s Chinatown, Tufts Medical Center is a moderately sized, quaternary care academic hospital serving a diverse patient population. This included both medically complex patients and a large, underserved population, with many Asian immigrants due to our location in Chinatown.
