Renowned for its work for establishing novel insights and therapies for genetic kidney disorders, for the development of clinical paradigms for the evaluation and treatment of kidney stone disease, being at the forefront of nephrology-critical care, and providing outstanding clinical management of a diverse urban dialysis population, to name a few – our trainees and faculty practice at the cutting edge of nephrology care. The fellowship curriculum is designed to be individualized, with your own career goals determining a development plan with many areas of study available.
