Nephrology Fellowship

Thank you for your interest in the Nephrology Fellowship Program (1483521144) at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine.

Our mission is to train exceptional nephrologists through rigorous clinical experience, outstanding mentorship, and meaningful exposure to the latest advances in kidney medicine. As one of the nation's leading academic medical centers, Weill Cornell offers fellows a unique combination of clinical excellence, innovation, and scholarly opportunity within an environment dedicated to patient-centered care.

Located in the heart of New York City, our fellows care for a remarkably diverse patient population and encounter the full spectrum of kidney disease, from common clinical problems to the most complex cases in transplantation, glomerular disease, hypertension, critical care nephrology, dialysis, and onconephrology. The diversity of our patients, combined with our international reputation and extensive referral network, provides a breadth of clinical experience that is difficult to match elsewhere.

Our faculty includes internationally recognized clinicians, educators, and investigators whose expertise spans kidney transplantation, glomerular diseases, hypertension, dialysis, critical care nephrology, polycystic kidney disease, obstetric nephrology, and apheresis. Fellows benefit from close mentorship within a large and diverse division committed to excellence in education and patient care.

The clinical strengths of our program are enhanced by extraordinary institutional partnerships. Fellows gain extensive experience in kidney transplantation through one of the nation's premier transplant programs and receive dedicated training in onconephrology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a world leader in cancer care. Additional collaborations with The Rogosin Institute, Rheumatology at Hospital for Special Surgery, and Rockefeller University provide unique opportunities for clinical learning, translational research  and academic growth.

Kidney medicine is undergoing a period of extraordinary innovation. Advances in transplant immunology, precision diagnostics, biomarkers, genetics, and targeted therapies are transforming patient care. New treatments for IgA nephropathy, FSGS, ADPKD, complement-mediated kidney diseases, and other glomerular disorders are bringing the field closer to personalized medicine, while breakthroughs in transplantation continue to improve long-term graft survival and patient outcomes. Fellows at Weill Cornell train at the forefront of these developments while developing the clinical judgment and expertise required to care for patients with the most complex kidney diseases.

A hallmark of our program is the integration of clinical excellence with academic scholarship. Fellows have dedicated time for academic development and access to outstanding mentors across Weill Cornell Medicine and our affiliated institutions. Whether pursuing clinical investigation, translational research, medical education, transplantation, or advanced subspecialty expertise, fellows are encouraged to develop the skills and experiences that best support their individual career goals.

Our graduates leave the program exceptionally well prepared for careers in academic medicine, transplantation, clinical leadership, and community practice. Above all, they graduate as confident, compassionate, and highly skilled nephrologists equipped to lead the next generation of kidney care.

We invite you to explore our program and discover what makes NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine an exceptional place to train, grow and thrive.

Sincerely,
