Steps to apply for the Tufts Medical Center rheumatology fellowship

We accept applications exclusively through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

 At Tufts Medical Center, we’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable learning environment. Our admissions committee conducts holistic reviews of all applications, recognizing that standardized test scores and academic metrics don’t always reflect an applicant’s full potential. We value individuals who bring unique experiences, have overcome significant challenges, or come from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine.
