The Nephrology Fellowship Program at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston is a fully accredited ACGME training program. We accept candidates who have completed three years of residency training in Internal Medicine. Our goal is to train fellows to provide compassionate care to patients with a variety of kidney diseases and to mold them into becoming
clinician educators in the future. The Nephrology fellowship program consists of two years of training. The first year emphasizes clinical training through consult service rotations at the Jennie Sealy Hospital and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Hospital.
The second year is mostly devoted to elective rotations and completion of research activities. In the outpatient setting, the nephrology fellow has several continuity clinics devoted to the care of chronic kidney disease patients, kidney and pancreas
transplant patients and home dialysis patients. The fellow also has exposure in caring for in-center hemodialysis patients through our division's partnership with DaVita.
