Hand Fellowship
Prestigious hand surgery fellowships in Boston
Gain Expertise in Hand Surgery
Completing a hand fellowship program provides orthopedic surgeons additional expertise in surgery of the hand, wrist and elbow. Here at New England Baptist Hospital (NEBH), we are proud to offer the Tufts Combined Hand Fellowship.
Our hand fellows are fully qualified orthopedic surgeons who have finished an orthopedic residency program and have a special interest in hand surgery. Through a competitive selection process, they come to New England Baptist Hospital from across the country for a year of intensive training in hand and upper extremity surgery.
Our Hand Fellowship program is associated with Tufts University. It is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the Residency Review Committee (RRC). This fellowship is a combined program with the hand surgery staff at Tufts Medical Center. Two fellows are selected for the program each year. They rotate between New England Baptist Hospital and Tufts Medical Center on a regular basis.
