At Tufts Medical Center, our curriculum is designed to support our mission of providing residents with a strong foundation in general pediatrics through care of diverse patients in community and tertiary care settings and close contact with experienced faculty. This ultimately allows each resident to pursue a successful career in their preferred field, including academic, community based or subspecialty pediatrics.
The first year of residency is dedicated to achieving a foundation in pediatrics with appropriate supervision, while also allowing time for career exploration, mentorship and personal and professional goal development. The second year of residency promotes a transition to supervisory roles, with an emphasis on autonomy, scholarship and career mentorship. The final year of residency involves exploration in the role of supervisor and autonomous practitioner, focusing on preparing for independent practice and achieving professional goals.
