Combined Nephrology-Critical Care Medicine
Fellowship Training Program

Welcome from the Program Directors:

Over half of the patients admitted to intensive care unit develop acute kidney injury, fluid overload, electrolyte abnormalities and severe acid-base disorders. The dually trained specialist in this field will have the expertise to diagnose and manage these serious disorders appropriately and in a timely manner, resulting in improved outcomes of critically ill patients. Graduates from the Nephrology-CCM fellowship training program will be competent in the diagnosis and management of all the spectrum of kidney diseases including but not limited to chronic kidney disease, mineral and bone disorders, nephrolithiasis, hypertension, tubular, interstitial and cystic disorders, glomerular and vascular disorders, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. In addition, graduates will have the in-depth knowledge and technical skills necessary to provide comprehensive care to a broad range of critically ill and injured patients, and to lead an inter professional team of ICU providers.
