Our Mission

We are an ACGME-accredited fellowship recruiting applicants from internal medicine residency programs. We accept graduates from both U.S. and international medical schools; our fellows come from diverse backgrounds and share a commitment to our program’s strengths and mission to serve underserved, diverse populations. 

BMC offers unique opportunities such as training in infection control and antibiotic stewardship, a combined ID/addiction medicine track, and a medical education pathway. Through the BU-CHART training grant, fellows can pursue an MSc in Epidemiology, clinical research training, and conduct an HIV-related project. Research mentoring is offered in five core areas:  

• HIV and Hepatitis C 
• Global health and Tuberculosis 
• Hospital Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Stewardship 
• Immunology and Bacterial Pathogenesis 
• ID and Addiction 

Our program stands out for its breadth of clinical pathology—including advanced disease in underserved patients, tropical infections among immigrants, and national leadership in ID-addiction. Graduates pursue academic and community-based careers, with many continuing in ID or HIV/hepatitis C care. Fellows have also pursued clinical and epidemiologic research, and even training in transplant ID. 

We proudly serve dynamic urban and suburban population and value diversity in all forms—race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. We pride ourselves as the second most racially inclusive hospital, believing our trainees should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
