Train in child + adolescent psychiatry in Boston with Tufts Medicine

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center in Boston offers a two-year training program focused on developing skilled, compassionate leaders in pediatric mental health care. Our fellows work with children, teens, and families from diverse backgrounds across a variety of clinical settings.

The program combines rich clinical experience with dedicated educational support. Fellows rotate through inpatient and outpatient services, consultation-liaison work, and specialized therapy clinics. Weekly seminars, case conferences, and interdisciplinary sessions support continued learning and professional growth.

Highlights of our Boston-based fellowship:

  • Two-year ACGME-accredited program
  • Inpatient and outpatient training at leading regional sites, including Cambridge Hospital
  • Weekly didactics, journal clubs, and case discussions
  • Experience with diverse patient populations and systems of care
  • Preparation for board certification and academic or clinical leadership

Graduates of the program go on to impactful roles in academic medicine, clinical practice, and community mental health across the country.

The goal of the 1-year surgical pathology fellowship is to prepare the Fellow for advanced practice in surgical pathology.  Fellows should have a strong background in general diagnostic pathology, and acquire skills though the fellowship training to become an independent attending pathologist able to practice in either an academic, community hospital or commercial laboratory setting, or pursue further subspecialty fellowship training.

Tufts Medical Center presents a rich diversity of cases including transplant pathology, cancer pathology (e.g., breast, prostate, lung, gastrointestinal, gynecologic) and non-neoplastic diseases. There are approximately 20, 000 surgical cases annually at Tufts Medical Center. In addition, Tufts Medical Center is one of two hospitals in Boston with a focus on cardiac transplantation.

The fellow will be mentored and will assume graduated responsibility for diagnostic sign out of cases with the surgical pathology faculty at Tufts Medical Center. The fellow also will participate in conference presentations, tumor boards, pathology laboratory administration, and the education of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine residents.

Although this is a non–ACGME-accredited program, the fellowship meets the American Board of Pathology criteria for Maintenance of Certification credit and is modeled on surgical pathology fellowship programs at other major academic medical centers. Opportunities exist to become involved in ongoing clinical or translational research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, particularly in partnership with other clinical services. Available diagnostic and research techniques include immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cytogenetic techniques and some molecular applications.

The Surgical Pathology Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center offers comprehensive training in diagnostic surgical pathology including in-depth exposure to subspecialty areas of general surgical pathology.

1-year accredited hematopathology fellowship with clinical lab experience

The ACGME-accredited hematopathology fellowship at Tufts Medical Center offers broad, in-depth training across clinical hematology, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, immunopathology, coagulation and laboratory medicine.

This one-year fellowship prepares fellows to work independently as primary diagnosticians and consultants in all areas of hematopathology and clinical laboratory hematology. Fellows develop skills to practice in academic centers, community hospitals, commercial labs or pursue further subspecialty training.

Tufts Medical Center provides a rich variety of cases supported by a state-of-the-art hematology laboratory that performs about one million tests annually. Fellows gain hands-on experience with up to 800 bone marrow cases and around 300 additional consultation cases each year.

  • Graduated responsibility for case sign-out and active involvement in conferences, tumor boards and resident education
  • Personalized training plans tailored to meet individual educational goals
  • Opportunities to participate in clinical and translational research alongside other clinical teams

Preparation and support for the American Board of Pathology Hematopathology subspecialty exam is part of the fellowship.

The Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG) Fellowship Program at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is designed to provide additional multidisciplinary experience and training in the medical and surgical subspecialty of PAG. This is a non-accredited fellowship, two-year fellowship.
