Program Overview

Doctor of Medicine Program

The Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at Tufts University School of Medicine is a four-year program that combines robust academics and diverse clinical experiences to produce exceptionally prepared researchers and patient-focused clinicians.

Program Overview

Our students immerse themselves in a community built on collaboration and mutual support, graduating with the skills and preparation they need to excel in the next phase of their career.

Curriculum

The rigorous curriculum is taught through small group lectures, case-based learning, and one-on-one instruction from world-class faculty and researchers. Students build skills in our new, state-of-the-art Anatomy Lab, and in our Clinical Skills and Simulation Center.

Clinical Experience

Our principal teaching hospital is Tufts Medical Center, a 400-bed facility directly adjacent to the Medical School. But students also rotate at more than 15 other major teaching sites across Massachusetts: from urban trauma centers, to suburban hospitals, to community health centers.

Campus and Location

Our compact Health Science Campus is located in Boston’s dynamic Chinatown neighborhood. We’re in the center of an interconnected ecosystem that includes major medical centers, health care thought leaders, life sciences startups, and thousands of other students.

Dual Degrees

Our dual degree programs enable MD students to gain crucial knowledge, and experience several other fields of study, leaving them well-equipped to take on leadership roles after graduation.
