Goals
The goals of the MUSC Nephrology Fellowship are to:

• train excellent nephrologists with exposure to a      
  multitude of renal diseases including renal transplantation;
• provide experience with nephrology related procedures;
• encourage an academic approach to medicine;
• equip the fellow for a variety of practice settings including an academic career.

Our fellows pursue a number of different career paths including academic appointments, clinical and bench research positions, and private practice.

Structure of the Fellowship Training Program for 2011-2012 we have eight clinical fellows and two research fellows to cover the Division’s multiple clinical and research activities.  Certification by the  American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) requires a minimum of 24 months training with at least 12 months involved in direct patient care.
 

The Sample Fellows Schedule (pdf) indicates the types of service the fellows are responsible for during the course of a year.
