Transplant Nephrology Fellowship

Superb Clinical Training- Over the course of the year, trainees will be a vital part of the kidney transplant team. This includes, rotating 6-months on the inpatient transplant service, and attending recipient/donor candidate evaluation clinics and post-transplant recipient clinics throughout the year. As a high-volume solid-organ transplant center that performs more than 150 kidney transplants per year, trainees are exposed to a diverse patient population that includes recipients of liver, heart, and lung transplants. You will work closely with faculty and fellows in these other solid-organ transplant specialties. Joint nephrology-surgery inpatient rounds and an integrated outpatient clinic, allow for participation in patient care beginning with the transplant event, and to follow newly transplanted patients from their first visit to the outpatient clinic providing continuity of care with individual patients throughout their first year of transplant.

Personalized Career Development- Trainees participate in research and/or other academic projects throughout their year. Our program recognizes that academic medicine includes career educators, researchers, patient advocates, and offers a broad array of academic experiences for fellows to pursue depending on their career interests. We help identify mentors for trainees based upon these interests, and provide access to accomplished faculty with a wide array of interests in nephrology, immunology, and kidney transplantation. Duke faculty are committed teachers and mentors, dedicated to the career development and long term success of our trainees.
