Our 2-year Fellowship program teaches the in-depth principles of renal physiology and pathophysiology. The division’s entire Faculty participates in the training of all fellows.
Clinical facilities include a 26-station outpatient unit for hemodialysis as well as CAPD/CCPD and home hemodialysis, a 4 bed unit for inpatient hemodialysis, a transplant program with about 40 transplants yearly, multiple specialty intensive care units including cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, stroke care, and a burn unit, and complete nephropathology services.
Clinical training includes responsibility for acute and chronic hemodialysis, home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, medical aspects of transplantation, continuous renal replacement therapies, renal biopsy techniques and interpretation.
In addition, trainees are expected to participate in research activity during their training. This can be either laboratory or clinically based.
Trainees who have completed their fellowship will be experts in the evaluation and care of patients with all forms of renal derangement.
