We aim to provide education in a collaborative, supportive and multi-disciplinary environment that promotes autonomy and creates pediatricians who are eager to take care of all children, regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic status and who value their responsibility to contribute to the communities they practice and live in. We are fortunate to be located in the Chinatown neighborhood of Boston and serve as the primary referral center and tertiary care hospital for a network of 5 community hospitals in the Boston metro area.
Our exposure to patients and populations in the local community and surrounding suburbs enriches the training experience for our residents — it prepares them for a future on the front lines of community pediatrics or in specialized academic centers. Given recent current events and the heightened awareness of implicit bias and health equity, Tufts Medical Center and Tufts Children's Hospital are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion of all individuals.

Vicky Hayes. Wendy Barr. Keith Nokes. LCHC serves an extremely diverse community and offers students a rich experience in serving the underserved. The Family Medicine Clerkship, directed by Dr. Deborah Erlich, is a six-week rotation that offers students the unique opportunity to experience a diversity of patients and patient presentations that will help them prepare for whatever field of medicine they eventually choose.
The family medicine community faculty includes over teachers at greater than sites throughout New England. Students spend four days each week with their preceptors, seeing patients autonomously and receiving direct observation and individualized feedback.
They perform one home visit, complete an end-of-life advance directive, and to learn to care for a wide variety of medical conditions. Students spend one day each week back at Tufts for interactive didactic case discussions based on characters from four standardized families of differing cultural backgrounds.
The didactic case discussions explore bio-psycho-social issues pertaining to the members of these families and help students understand how the philosophies of family medicine promote excellent patient care. Highlights of didactic days include several standardized patient exercises as well as interactive workshops on information mastery, dermatology, women's health, underserved medicine, sports medicine and many more core Family Medicine topics.
As part of the clerkship, students also complete an interactive, evidence-based online nutrition course , the Nonprofit Gaples Institute Nutrition Course for Health Professionals, and then apply its principles to a faculty-observed, standardized patient interview. The didactic days, taught and facilitated by over 22 different faculty, receive outstanding anonymous feedback from the students. The Master Teacher Fellowship is a two-year program aimed at developing family medicine faculty to take leadership roles in developing competency-based education in community and university-based settings.

This one-year fellowship aims to develop leaders who will promote and teach full-spectrum reproductive health care, including abortion, within primary care. The fellow works closely with faculty and residents from the Tufts CHA Family Medicine Residency Program to develop clinical, academic and advocacy skills.
The fellow spends one year as a "trainer in training," learning to perform full spectrum reproductive health procedures, integrate these services into primary care settings and teach these procedures to others. Fellows develop teaching skills through leading didactic sessions for medical students and residents and by presenting at academic meetings.
Advocacy experience is gained by partnering with primary care and reproductive health organizations on projects which increase access to reproductive health care. For more information please visit the fellowship web page at: Reproductive Health Care and Advocacy Fellowship.
