The University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics' Nephrology Fellowship Program is a two- to three-year program that prepares fellows for careers in either clinical or academic adult nephrology.

Our faculty are well versed in all aspects of nephrology with demonstrated excellence, regional, national, and even international notoriety in chronic kidney, end-stage kidney disease care, transplant nephrology, and interventional nephrology. Moreover, they enjoy teaching students, residents, and nephrology fellows.

We have had impressive productivity from our fellows including former fellow Dr. Pollock presenting his research at the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) national meeting in May 2005, and achieving status as a finalist at the NKF Young Investigator Forum in April of 2006. Former nephrology fellow Dr. Hall also had a poster presentation at the NKF forum in 2006. One of our second year fellows Dr. Smavatkul received the NKF young Investigator award in 2005 with a new research proposal on Anemia in Transplantation currently being reviewed in the IRB, as well as our other second year fellow Dr. Sanghvi presenting a poster at the Chronic Renal Replacement Therapy meeting in 2006.

We invite you to browse our web page for more in depth information on our nephrology fellowship. We pride ourselves on our exceptionally comprehensive, nationally renowned program, which has produced outstanding nephrologists in both the academic and private sectors.
