Neonatal-perinatal medicine faculty + fellows shaping care at Tufts Medical Center
Our neonatal-perinatal medicine fellows are essential members of the care team at Tufts Medical Center. They serve as frontline physicians in our Level III NICU and lead neonatal transports across our regional hospital network. Fellows care for a high-acuity population and play an active role in every aspect of decision-making and care delivery.
Fellows also co-manage surgical and specialty care cases with pediatric teams. From the most fragile newborns to medically complex cases, they’re trusted with real clinical responsibility and gain hands-on experience managing acute and long-term care.
Clinical leadership in a high-risk NICU
Our 40-bed NICU is one of the busiest in Boston, caring for newborns from across the region. Fellows are at the heart of daily rounds, procedures and care planning. The support of a close-knit team—including neonatologists, nurses and subspecialists—helps fellows build confidence and independence in a fast-paced environment.
Fellows are also deeply involved in quality improvement. All first-year fellows join the division’s QI committee, and each fellow leads a QI project during training. These experiences strengthen their ability to lead in both academic and clinical settings.
Mentorship, teaching + academic growth
At Tufts Medical Center, education is woven into daily practice. Fellows teach and mentor medical students and pediatric residents through bedside instruction, daily multidisciplinary discussions and formal didactic sessions. They also receive regular feedback and mentorship from faculty committed to their growth.
With strong ties to Tufts University School of Medicine, our fellows are positioned to develop as leaders in academic medicine—whether they pursue a future in teaching, clinical care or research.
