We are committed to our fellows and their success . The goal of the Renal Fellowship is to train outstanding Nephrologists to be leaders in the field whether they pursue an academic or clinical career. To accomplish this goal, the Division of Nephrology offers a three-year program for the training of Nephrologists, with options for additional supported years for research. The first year is dedicated entirely to clinical Nephrology. In the second and third years, the fellow's time is devoted to clinical or basic research with minimal clinical responsibilities.
Optional years are available to allow a candidate to develop an independent research program.
Clinical Rotations Exposure to clinical Nephrology includes outpatient clinics, acute and chronic inpatient management, renal diagnostic services including renal biopsy and pathology, and renal transplantation management. The peritoneal dialysis program, the largest one in New York City, now includes over 100 patients. Clinical exposure is enhanced by our close affiliation with the Bronx VA Medical Center, one of the outstanding VA medical centers in the country. All fellows and faculty participate actively in clinical, pathology, and research conferences in addition to the many interdisciplinary conferences offered at The Mount Sinai Medical Center. The Mount Sinai Medical Center is located in one of the most elegant neighborhoods in Manhattan, the Upper East Side.
