Get real-world orthopaedic experience through Tufts Medicine residency
At Tufts Medicine, orthopaedic residents dive into a wide range of clinical experiences from day one. The first year focuses on building a strong foundation in general surgery, with exciting rotations in orthopaedics, trauma, pediatrics, emergency medicine, radiology and critical care. In the following years, residents move through all major subspecialties, gaining hands-on experience in trauma, sports medicine, joint reconstruction, spine, pediatric orthopaedics, hand, foot and ankle, and oncology.
Training spans multiple Tufts Medicine-affiliated hospitals, including Tufts Medical Center, New England Baptist Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital, Rhode Island Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. This variety ensures exposure to diverse patient populations, complex surgical cases, and both academic and community practice settings.
Residents grow through close mentorship, early responsibility in the OR and opportunities to engage in research. They also participate in regular conferences, journal clubs, and educational presentations, which foster discussion, critical thinking and professional development. The program is designed to develop skilled, confident surgeons who are ready to thrive in any orthopaedic career path.
