HCA Healthcare/Tufts University School of Medicine: Portsmouth Regional Hospital Program
About This Program
We serve a diverse community in the beautiful Seacoast area. We are affiliated with Tufts and Tufts students rotate with us, but training opportunities also take place at institutions staffed by Dartmouth faculty. Research support is available thru HCA. We are a small program, in our 5th year, focused on helping our residents to learn and grow into the professionals they aim to be. Our first graduating class went to fellowships and academic positions in inpatient and outpatient facilities.
