Internal Medicine Residency Program

GME Scholarly Work Week (GLOW)

The Tufts Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency Program celebrates resident scholarly accomplishments through an annual event known as GME Scholarly Work Week, or GLOW Week. This week-long celebration kicks off with a vibrant poster session where residents and fellows present their research and scholarly projects. During the week, residents deliver oral presentations during noon conferences, and the week culminates in a special Grand Rounds featuring four invited residents and fellows who share their work with the whole Department of Medicine.

GLOW Week highlights the depth and breadth of resident scholarship and provides a meaningful platform to showcase contributions to clinical research, medical education and quality improvement—reinforcing our program’s strong commitment to academic excellence.
