Admissions Overview
The Division of Nephrology Fellowship Program focuses its application season on exceptional candidates for four positions available starting July 1. The positions available are for two years or three years. While the two year track will be devoted to clinical rotations, fellows will be given ample opportunity to pursue bench and clinical research projects. Three year research positions are also available during which the first two years will focus on clinical or basic research and the third year will focus on clinical rotations. Individuals in the research track will also be part of a Department Wide Medical Research Program. Admissions decisions are based on a number of factors, including internship and residency training, letters of recommendation, and suitability for our program.
