How to apply to the Tufts Medicine Orthopaedic Residency Program
Applicants must submit their materials through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). A USMLE transcript is required for every application. Applicants must provide at least three letters of recommendation, with a maximum of four.
For the 2027 ERAS® cycle, Applicants will be required to complete the MyERAS application. There is no longer a separate Supplemental Application, but the following are now incorporated into the ERAS Application:
- Geographic preferences (by region and by urban or rural setting)
- Information about their most meaningful experiences and other impactful life events, if applicable
- Program signals.
For the 2026-2027 Match year, all applications must be received by October 1, 2026, through ERAS. All completed applications will be reviewed by the Tufts Resident Selection Committee. Those applicants who are invited for an interview will be notified once the Committee has completed its review of the applications. All interviews will be held in-person on December 18 and 19, 2026.
We seek residents who combine high academic achievement with leadership and interpersonal skills.
