Overview
This one or two year fellowship program is ACGME-accredited for one year. The fellowship combines clinical and research experience. Clinical training is focused on kidney pathology and can be combined with one additional specialty among cardiovascular, urologic and autopsy pathology.
Clinical experience includes evaluation of transplant and non-transplant specimens utilizing light, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy.
The fellowship is designed to provide graded clinical responsibilities, including on-call coverage with attending back-up as the trainee gains experience. Rotations include sessions in laboratory management and quality control, as well as elective time for rotations of interest.
The fellow participates in joint clinical conferences with the faculty and trainees from the Department of Medicine and Transplant Surgery.
Research is an integral part of the fellowship and may have either a clinical or experimental emphasis, with high potential for interdepartmental collaboration as well. A second non-ACGME accredited year emphasizing research is available on a case by case basis. Faculty research interests include renal transplantation, acute tubular injury, tubular transport, renal development, and glomerular disease. The trainee also participates in teaching of medical students and residents. One position is available per year.
