MGH: Massachusetts General Hospital
Massachusetts General Hospital was founded in 1811 and is the third oldest general hospital in the U.S. and the largest in New England. Mass General has the largest hospital-based research program in the U.S. and is not only the original teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, but also its largest with nearly all our staff physicians serving as faculty.
Centers of expertise (COEs) in Global and Community Health, Medical Education, Health Policy and Management, and Quality and Patient Safety sponsored by the Graduate Medical Education office enable trainees with these interests to network with like-minded trainees and faculty. Small grant awards to enable pilot projects are also available through the COEs.
Salary scale and benefits for the current fiscal year can be found here. Acknowledging that Boston is a high cost-of-living city, salaries are competitive and additional benefits including a lease guaranty program and subsidized transit pass help defray costs. Applicants are also encouraged to apply for the new federally-funded pediatric subspecialty loan repayment program for which MGH is an approved site.
Well-being
Medicine is a challenging field, and we recognize that training can be a particularly stressful time. Mass General Brigham has a number of resources to support the well-being and mental health of learners including 24/7 access to the Trainee Assistance Program for urgent needs.

Our division incorporates reflective, practice, and discussions of moral distress, work life, balance, and career transitions as a part of the fellowship curriculum, and in our mentorship overall.
