Happy Match Day! Congratulations and welcome to all of the incoming residents who matched with BIDMC. We can't wait to meet you!

It was wonderful to celebrate Residents & Fellows Day with our incredible trainees at BIDMC last week.

Your dedication, compassion, and commitment to excellence inspire us every day. We are so grateful for all that you do to advance patient care and shape the future of medicine.

We’re proud to see our colleague Dr. Adam Rodman featured in The New York Times with a guest essay on the evolving role of artificial intelligence in medicine.

In the piece, he explores how thoughtful and transparent use of AI can strengthen — rather than replace — the human relationships at the heart of patient care.
