Tufts Medical Center is committed to providing exceptional training and mentoring for our residents and fellows. One thing that really sets us apart is the fact that even though we are a large academic medical center, our trainees are essential members of our multidisciplinary treatment teams that work to make patient care better.
All applications should be sent through ERAS or directly to the program that you wish to apply to. If you have any questions related to your program application or the interview process please contact the coordinator of the program to which you are applying.
