Current Fellows

I chose Tufts MC Nephrology because it offers a triple threat – 1) rigorous clinical training with longitudinal exposure to hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis; 2) focused, one-on-one mentorship; and 3) integrated clinical research with an abundance of resources.

Tufts MC Nephrology has everything I was looking for in a fellowship program: excellent clinical training, amazing co-fellows, experts in the field who also prioritize mentorship, and endless medical education and clinical research opportunities. I consider Tufts home and am thrilled to kickstart my career in nephrology at a place that is equally kind as it is supportive.

During my time in medical school and residency I have been impressed by the dedication to patient care, student and resident education, and clinical research. The Nephrology department has filled leadership positions in the hospital and medical school as well as participating in educational initiatives at all levels. The warmth among the staff of the department is why I chose this program, most of all. I could not imagine myself anywhere else!

I chose Tufts Medical Center primarily because of the incredible people. From the moment my interview started I could tell that all the fellows, faculty, and administrators are genuine, down-to-Earth people and are a true family who always support each other. I've had the opportunity to work with and learn from national experts in nephrology all while enjoying the amazing benefits that Boston has to offer. The exposure to transplant, peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, a longitudinal clinic, and an interesting consult service will make me a well-rounded nephrologist ready to begin a successful post-training career in any setting that I want.

Tufts MC offered everything I was looking for in a fellowship training program. The research track allows for dedicated time for research and to obtain a master's degree in clinical and translational research. On the clinical side of things, we get to see all aspects of nephrology and the attendings are some of the most intelligent and kind people I have interacted with in medicine.
