Tufts Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

Tufts Medical Center's OBGYN residency is a university-affiliated academic program based at Boston's first academic medical center, combining tertiary hospital training with community rotations at Lowell General, MelroseWakefield and Southern New Hampshire Medical Center to broaden exposure across patient populations and practice settings. Residents rotate through all core subspecialties—maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, REI, urogynecology, family planning and pediatric/adolescent gynecology—with an 8-9 week PGY-3 elective that can be shaped toward research, international work or away rotations, signaling genuine flexibility in individualizing training. Research is structurally supported through the Woman, Mother + Baby Research Institute, dedicated research time, statistician access and monthly methodology workshops, reflecting an expectation that residents engage in scholarly output rather than treat it as optional. The program frames itself around dual readiness for general practice and fellowship, with explicit emphasis on faculty mentorship, wellness and advocacy as part of its stated identity.
