Our mission

The Fellowship Program in Endocrinology in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Tufts Medical Center aims to bestow fellows with the knowledge, skills and adaptive expertise required to become independent consultants in endocrinology. The Program nurtures a belonging environment that values wellness and allows fellows to receive training that aligns with established knowledge and methods towards high-quality, high-value, and patient-centered care that celebrates individuality. We embrace thoughtfulness, forward-thinking and imagination to prepare fellows for rapidly evolving knowledge and methods in the field of endocrinology. The Program is tailored to meet the needs of fellows whose future focus will be clinical practice, those who wish to become clinician-educators and those who want to pursue careers in endocrine clinical research.

We offer dentistry training through the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.

For more information on residencies or fellowships, please contact Maria Papageorge, DMD, MS, Chairman, Oral Surgery, at 617.636.6828.

We are looking for clinicians who have an interest in pursuing a career in academic medicine and who have good analytic skills. We are located at Tufts Medical Center, the principal teaching hospital for the Tufts University School of Medicine in downtown Boston. Candidates must arrange their own funding.

The fellowship consists of one to three years of postdoctoral research training in clinical informatics, clinical decision analysis, cost- effectiveness (especially pharmaco-economics) and health policy analysis, guideline development, clinical decision support, clinical cognition and clinical reasoning and telemedicine.

Depending on funding, fellows can take formal courses at local institutions such as Tufts University, Boston University, MIT and Harvard as part of the program. Trainees are strongly encouraged to develop independent projects in informatics, pharmaco-economics or decision theory, which lead to publications and presentations at national meetings.

Treatment options for Advanced Heart Failure (AHF) are increasing in number and complexity and now include devices delivered surgically, through the skin, or as part of hybrid procedures involving both cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists. Currently, interventional cardiology training does not include training in AHF. For the majority of interventional cardiologists, AHF training is not required. However, for a growing number of interventional cardiologists, an additional year of in-depth training in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology (AHFTC) will provide the knowledge to make optimal decisions for patients with AHF who are being considered for drug or device therapy and be dual board eligible.

The group of interventional heart failure specialists will be uniquely positioned to evaluate and implement emerging drug- and device-based therapies for the management of all subtypes of heart failure, including heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), valvular heart failure, right ventricular failure, pulmonary hypertension, cardiorenal syndrome, acute decompensated HF, cardiogenic shock and complication associated with left ventricular assist devices.

Shape your future in interventional cardiology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston

The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is a one-year ACGME-accredited program for cardiovascular specialists who want to advance their skills in catheter-based procedures.

ACGME-accredited heart failure + transplant cardiology fellowship at Tufts Medical Center + Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

The Division of Cardiology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston offers a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology, conducted in partnership with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. This program is designed for board-eligible or board-certified cardiovascular specialists seeking advanced training in complex heart failure management, heart transplant care, and mechanical circulatory support.

Fellows receive comprehensive clinical training at both Tufts Medical Center and BIDMC, gaining hands-on experience in:

• Inpatient and outpatient care of advanced heart failure patients
• Endomyocardial biopsies
• Pre- and post-heart transplant management

• Novel drug therapies and cutting-edge clinical research

Tufts Medical Center is one of the highest-volume heart transplant centers in New England, supported by five experienced heart failure and transplant cardiologists and a dedicated nursing team. Fellows also train on the specialized cardiomyopathy service, a 14-bed intermediate care unit for patients with advanced heart failure, VADs and transplants.

At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, fellows gain additional exposure to advanced heart failure therapies, including ECMO management and device-based interventions, in collaboration with interventional cardiology and the nationally recognized Smith Center for Outcomes Research.

Our regional referral network across New England provides unique opportunities for fellows to collaborate with leading heart failure specialists and participate in innovative clinical trials and quality improvement initiatives at both institutions.
