Nephrology Fellowship
Advanced Nephrology Training
The Nephrology Fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) immerses trainees in an environment rich in opportunity for rigorous world-class training in all aspects of kidney disease while maintaining a nurturing and supportive environment.
Our faculty provide state-of-the-art care for patients with acute and chronic kidney diseases, renal failure requiring replacement therapy with dialysis and kidney transplantation, inherited and developmental kidney disease, and complicated acid-base and fluid/electrolyte problems. Our trainees become expert in all areas of Nephrology by working side-by-side with faculty, attending robust didactic teaching, and clinical conferences from experts within the Harvard community and beyond.

We offer two nephrology training programs:
- Nephrology Fellowship: We offer rigorous fellowship training with specialized tracks in basic science, clinical research, education, quality improvement, and interventional nephrology, guided by expert mentors. Fellows gain broad clinical expertise along with focused experience in their chosen areas, preparing them to be future leaders in the field of nephrology.
- Transplant Nephrology Fellowship: BIDMC is accredited by the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) and the American Society of Transplantation (AST) for a one-year fellowship in transplant nephrology. We provide specialty training to train exemplary, board-certified nephrologists proficient in all areas of transplant nephrology.
