The goal of the Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Program is to produce well trained and proficient pediatric nephrologists. This is achieved by combining broad clinical exposure in pediatric nephrology and related disciplines with tailored research experiences and attentive instruction and learning opportunities. The fellowship program fulfills all requirements for pediatric subspecialty board certification by the American Board of Pediatrics and is fully accredited by the American College of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
