About the neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship program at Tufts Medical Center
The Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center provides a dynamic and comprehensive training experience designed to prepare physicians for leadership roles in clinical care, research and medical education. Our program immerses fellows in the full spectrum of neonatal care, from managing high-risk deliveries and complex critical illnesses to long-term follow-up of high-risk infants.
With a high-acuity, 40-bed Level III NICU and access to a broad regional hospital network, fellows gain hands-on experience caring for a diverse patient population with a wide range of medical and surgical needs. The program also includes valuable rotations at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, further expanding clinical exposure.
Beyond clinical excellence, our fellowship emphasizes scholarly development, offering extensive research opportunities through collaborations with the Woman, Mother and Baby Research Institute, the Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences. Fellows receive tailored mentorship and participate in a structured scholarly curriculum to support their individual academic goals.
Our dedicated faculty are deeply committed to education and mentorship. They support fellows as frontline clinicians, researchers and educators, fostering a collaborative learning environment that encourages growth, innovation, and academic success.
Teaching and leadership are integral to the fellowship experience. As frontline clinicians and educators, fellows develop skills in patient care, team leadership and medical education by mentoring residents and medical students and leading multidisciplinary discussions.
Tufts Medical Center fosters a supportive, collaborative environment where fellows grow professionally and personally. Our program equips trainees to become expert clinicians, innovative researchers and inspiring educators ready to lead the future of neonatal-perinatal medicine.
