Train and work with leading hand specialists
Each fellow will complete the same three-month rotations, comprising 6 months at Tufts Medical Center and six months at New England Baptist Hospital/Hand Center at Boston Sports and Shoulder Center. Clinical rotations offer a singular hands-on experience. You will develop exceptional surgical skills, nonsurgical treatment approaches and superior diagnostic and decision-making abilities.
The formal curriculum includes a weekly hand surgery conference at Tufts MC, a monthly Hand Journal Club and a monthly conference dedicated to rare hand surgery topics. Additionally, fellows will attend a week-long micro-surgery course and are provided numerous opportunities to become involved in clinical and basic research.
