This three-year program offers direct patient care responsibility under close faculty supervision in an academic setting. The goals of the residency program are to enrich and advance residents' clinical skills, knowledge base, problem-solving abilities, clinical judgment, and bedside manner.
Many rotations, both inpatient and outpatient, occur through our subspecialty ward services, allowing trainees to learn each subject area from an expert in that field. Residents also rotate on general medical services learning directly from hospitalists and intensive care units.
The emphasis on subspecialty learning extends to our ambulatory care practices, where residents gain exposure to a variety of subspecialty outpatient clinics including nephrology, rheumatology, and endocrine. Additionally, residents practice as primary care providers in our General Internal Medicine or Primary Care – Quincy practices.
While the majority of rotations occur within Tufts Medical Center in Chinatown, residents also rotate through a community hospital (Newton-Wellesley Hospital). This allows trainees to experience community-based medicine and a different cohort of patients compared to our primary campus. Additionally, at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, residents work with MGH interns and residents, fostering connections with colleagues across town.
We offer subspecialty inpatient and outpatient electives, as well as research and teaching electives, depending on each resident’s interests and career goals throughout all three years of the program.
