How to apply to the pulmonary + critical care fellowship

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship Program at Tufts Medical Center accepts applications through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) from the AAMC. We use the signaling process as part of our holistic application review to aid in selecting applicants for interview. These interview days will take place on selected days in September and October. For scheduling purposes and on interview days, we utilize Thalamus and Zoom.

We also take part in the NRMP Subspecialty Match. You can register at nrmp.org.

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.
