This year is a unique year, as of July 1, 2022, Tufts Children’s Hospital closed its inpatient services. As such, patients from Tufts Children’s Hospital will transfer their care to other hospitals in Boston, and the current PGY2 and 3 Pediatrics Residents will complete their training through a new collaboration between Boston Children’s Hospital and Tufts Medical Center. The Tufts residents include 8 PGY2s, 14 PGY3 residents, and 2 Chief Residents. They are a mix of categorical pediatric residents, triple board residents, and pediatric neurology residents!
