Yale Nephrology offers four robust fellowship programs, ranging from clinical to research training, and overlaps specialties such as hospice/palliative care and critical care medicine. These programs are highlighted in a new video just released and produced by Yale School of Medicine’s (YSM) Office of Communications.

Clinically, fellows care for patients at both Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) and at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System. Basic science research training in nephrology spans the spectrum from tubule transport physiology to genetic diseases of the kidney and pathophysiology of glomerular, tubular, and vascular disorders through YSM.

“Our mission is to have the best and brightest of what the entire world has to offer. It makes for a really rich learning environment,” said Ursula Brewster, MD, professor of medicine (nephrology); and program director, Nephrology Fellowship.

“I want the fellows to be outstanding nephrologists. I want them to be great patient care advocates. And I want them to just be outstanding people,” said Randy Luciano, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine (nephrology) and associate program director, Nephrology Fellowship.

To read more about our fellowship programs, visit the Fellowship Opportunities website. To hear more about the program from section leadership and current fellows, watch the new video above.

Yale’s Section of Nephrology is committed to excellence in patient care, research, and education with the goal for both their faculty and trainees to be national and international leaders in the field of academic nephrology. To learn more about their mission and work, visit Nephrology.
