The Tufts University School of Medicine has an outstanding and diverse group of affiliated clinical sites, including teaching hospitals across Massachusetts and one in Maine. We are committed to providing our students with a rich variety of experiences and opportunities for training in their specialized field.

Our major academic affiliates are

These institutions and others fulfill clinical teaching needs by participating in one or more of the educational program components: introduction to physical diagnosis; required clerkships; elective clerkships; or special clinical educational activities. A list of required third-year clerkships and the sites where these are available is illustrative and is shown below. Students rotate to one or another of these institutions for a given clerkship experience.
