There is also a large research interest in diabetic nephropathy both from the clinical side and from the bench. The division maintains an active role in education, clinical services and research. Educational programs include a weekly conference that features in-depth reviews of basic science and clinical nephrology. There are also weekly clinical conferences and Renal Grand Rounds as well as bi-weekly Journal Club and monthly biopsy conferences. Residents on an elective rotation evaluate consultations under the direction of the faculty.
Consultations encompass the full spectrum of renal disease.
Through emphasis of pathophysiology, diagnosis and management, the resident acquires a working knowledge of the clinical approach to common renal disorders.
