@EVC37 @JeanChang131 Hi! We are looking for residents who share our values for caring for our community, equity and continuous improvement @TuftsFMR_CHA #Tuftstalk

@ana_varellaa @TuftsFMR_CHA There are always projects happening at TUFMR. Our residents and faculty working groups are doing projects in outpatient training, healthy equity and gender affirming care. We are expanding our infant, child &adolescent work at the Teen Center and behavioral health #Tuftstalk

@MiraItaniMD @TuftsFMR_CHA It varies depending on the goals of the rotation. For many rotations residents are active clinicians- actually doing the procedures, visits, etc- with faculty supervision. #tuftstalk

@anninhasiq @drtootyT @TuftsFMR_CHA @Info_Mastery As residents get to know fellows and faculty, they often choose their mentors who can help with a specific need or interest. As faculty we work on developing mentorship skills #tuftstalk

@philipps_jenna So many exciting things! Residents and faculty are also running the new Malden High School Health Center and group prenatal visits #tuftstalk

@mgoyo89 @TuftsFMR_CHA .Projects varying from team building work to outreach or inreach during visits for screening tests or improving hypertension. We work with the clinical team, not just physicians, to decide on projects.
