If a physician, be board certified in Clinical Pathology and licensed and/or eligible to practice Medicine in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; if non-physician, be board-certified/-eligible by an HHS-approved board, preferably the American College of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ACHI). Credentialing by the Portfolio Committee/Director Training Review and Credentialing of ASHI is preferred.
MD and/or Ph.D. candidates who wish to gain experience and training with a goal to become ASHI credentialed will be considered.
Qualify for a faculty appointment at Tufts University School of Medicine and participate in fellow, resident and medical student teaching.
A portfolio of clinical research activities and/or funded or transferable research is a plus.

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB), and the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI). The Clinical Laboratories perform approximately two million tests with the Blood Bank supporting close to 15,000 blood transfusions annually.
