Our fellows bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm as they train with us, while our alumni represent the program’s lasting legacy—leading, innovating, and shaping the future of lung health and critical care.

This page celebrates both the present and the past—highlighting the journeys of current trainees and showcasing the diverse paths our graduates take. We’re committed to fostering strong connections that support professional growth and lifelong collaboration.

Meet our pulmonary and critical care fellowship team

At Tufts Medical Center, our pulmonary and critical care fellowship program is supported by a dedicated team of expert physicians, researchers, and clinical educators. Our faculty bring diverse backgrounds and specialized expertise in lung diseases, critical care, sleep medicine, and interventional pulmonology. They are committed to providing outstanding training and mentorship to help fellows develop their skills, confidence, and careers.

Our team includes board-certified attendings, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and research staff—all working together to create a collaborative learning environment. We believe in personalized mentorship and encourage fellows to explore their clinical interests, research passions, and leadership goals.

Get to know the people who make our fellowship program exceptional and who will guide you every step of the way.

Fellowship academic year + core conference schedule

The academic year begins with our foundational Summer Lecture Series, designed to equip new fellows with essential knowledge to start their training confidently. Following this, fellows lead two key conferences: Case Conference and Journal Club.

Throughout the year, additional conferences provide broad exposure to pulmonary and critical care medicine, including:

• Morbidity and Mortality conference
• Pulmonary Hypertension conference
• Pathology conference
• Tumor Board
• Combined Rheumatology-Pulmonary ILD conference

These sessions enrich our fellow's learning and foster engagement with multidisciplinary teams.

Mentorship that supports your growth + success

We’re committed to helping each fellow reach their full potential. Mentorship is a cornerstone of our program, and every fellow is paired with dedicated mentors who provide guidance throughout training.

To make sure your experience is meeting your needs, we hold a monthly fellows meeting with the program director. This is a space to speak openly about all aspects of the program and share feedback.

When it’s time to focus on research, we’ll help you connect with faculty who share your interests. By the end of January in your first year, you’ll select a research project and mentor—so you can dive into your work at the start of your second year. Your mentor will continue to guide and support you through the remainder of your fellowship.

Hands-on research experience for pulmonary + critical care fellows

We provide robust research training through our partnership with Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Fellows have the option to pursue a Master’s in Clinical and Translational Science, choosing from tracks like Clinical Discovery, Clinical Effectiveness Research, and Practice to Policy Research. Our program offers dedicated research time and strong faculty mentorship to help fellows develop skills essential for academic and clinical research careers.

Training experience in pulmonology + critical care medicine

We believe strongly that experiential learning is a core part of our training. Our fellows are front and center in all patient care activities. When a patient is acutely ill on the medical floor or in the Emergency Room, fellows are the first to be notified and involved. This hands-on approach ensures they are fully integrated into the daily care team and gain real-world experience from the start.

Fellows are expected to take ownership of their education by making decisions at the bedside. This responsibility extends beyond critical care to pulmonary medicine and procedural training, promoting independence and confidence.

Our program also offers a robust didactic curriculum with multiple conference series, including Case Conference, Morbidity and Mortality, Journal Club, Pulmonary Hypertension, Rheumatology-Pulmonary ILD and Pathology Case Conference.

Bedside ultrasound skills are taught within the ICU to help fellows build their portfolios and prepare for critical care echocardiography board certification if they choose. Additionally, we host Boston’s city-wide introductory ultrasound course for new first-year trainees, fostering early mastery of this essential skill.

Clinical training that prepares you for board certification

The Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center provides outstanding clinical training that prepares fellows for board certification in both pulmonary disease and critical care medicine. Our program also offers a rich clinical and basic science research environment, empowering fellows to pursue innovative investigations at the highest level.

Our faculty are deeply committed to mentoring and supporting fellows throughout their training, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where learning and growth thrive.

As part of the Tufts Medical Center Department of Medicine, fellows join a vibrant academic community with approximately 150 full-time faculty, 72 internal medicine house officers and 145 fellows across specialties. Located on the main campus of Tufts University School of Medicine, the program offers unique opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration with divisions such as Infectious Disease, Clinical Decision Making, Hematology-Oncology and Clinical Services Research. Fellows also engage with departments including Anesthesiology, Radiology, Surgery and Pathology.

Additionally, our fellows benefit from partnerships with the Tufts University School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute.

Our fellowship prepares you to excel in patient care, research and academic leadership within the fields of pulmonary and critical care medicine.
