Overview
The Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Program at the University of Rochester is a well-rounded, three-year program designed to train well-qualified candidates committed to the care of children with kidney disease, for careers as independent physician scientists and academic pediatric nephrologists.
The focus of the combined clinical and laboratory training is to provide a combination of excellence in clinical, administrative, research, and teaching skills essential to making significant contributions to our understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of disease processes.
The fellowship is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME),with, in general, one fellow per year of training.
Fellows have plentiful outpatient and inpatient opportunities on the Pediatric Nephrology Service at the Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong allowing them to develop expertise in the clinical diagnosis and management of disorders of the kidney and urologic system, hypertension, kidney replacement therapy, and fluid and electrolyte disorders in neonates, infants, children, and young adults.
Research is an integral component of the division where fellows are closely guided by faculty with diverse research interests that include:
Bench research in kidney physiology and pathophysiology as well as molecular aspects of kidney development
Clinical studies involving hypertension and it’s effects and estimates of glomerular filtration rate
Opportunities may exist for selected individuals to fulfill their research requirements while pursuing a Masters of Public Health (MPH).
Fellows are an integral part of the division and develop skills to teach medical students and house staff the principles of recognizing, evaluating, and treating fluid and electrolyte problems and kidney disease in children. Fellows also participate with faculty in serving as a source of continuing medical education for the general pediatric community.
Application Process
Funding available for our fellowship program only provides salary support for U.S. citizens, naturalized citizens or citizens holding permanent residency in the U.S.
We are now accepting applications though the Electronic Residency Application Services (ERAS). Please visit the ERAS website to access the online application. Applications may be submitted through ERAS or directly to the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC).
Prerequisite: Candidates must have satisfactorily completed an ACGME/ABP accredited residency in general pediatrics by the start of their fellowship. Applicants pursuing other training pathways approved by the American Board of Pediatrics, such as the Accelerated Research Pathway, are also welcome to apply.
Application Submission:
For submission through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)
For submission directly to URMC please provide:
Completed application
Curriculum vitae
Personal statement telling us about yourself, your interest in Nephrology, long term plans, and specific fellowship training goals
Three letters of recommendation from faculty within your department (one from the Chief of Pediatrics or the Director of Nephrology, and two from other faculty members who are familiar with the candidates' work)
Selection criteria will include an excellent performance record. Preference is given to applicants who have career goals consistent with those of the program; namely, to conduct research and teach as a member of the faculty in an academic Pediatric Nephrology Division.
Candidates are required, with rare exception, to visit Rochester for personal interviews with members of the faculty. Expenses are the responsibility of the candidates; however, we will assist with arrangements to help reduce costs.
