Vascular Neurology Fellowship - Letter from Program Director

Advanced stroke training in Boston at Tufts Medical Center

Nestled in Boston’s lively Theater District, the Vascular Neurology Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center offers a unique opportunity to train in advanced stroke and cerebrovascular care while serving a diverse and dynamic population. Our program culture is grounded in curiosity, collaboration and genuine support for one another.

Fellows are fully immersed in every aspect of stroke care, working side by side with a dedicated and passionate team. Training takes place in an environment that values clinical excellence, thoughtful education and respect for the people we serve. Beyond the hospital, fellows can explore all that Boston has to offer, from its rich history and cultural scene to its vibrant energy and walkable neighborhoods.

We invite you to learn more about what makes Tufts Medical Center a distinctive place to train, grow and launch the next stage of your career in vascular neurology.
