Nephrology, Hypertension & Renal Transplantation
Transplant Nephrology Fellowship
The division offers an accredited training program in transplant nephrology. This is a 12-month program accredited by the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) & the American Society of Transplantation (AST). In order to participate in the program, individuals must have completed a nephrology fellowship program and be board-eligible or board certified in nephrology.
The educational program consists of six months clinical service on the inpatient kidney & pancreas transplant service. The remaining months include dedicated research time, outpatient clinical work as well as training in transplant pathology and in the HLA lab. The fellow is expected to participate in one or more scholarly research projects, and will also participate in teaching residents and general nephrology fellows. We encourage attendance and presentation of research at national transplant meetings, including the American Society of Transplantation Fellows’ Symposium, and the American Transplant Congress.
Interested applicants should have completed, or plan to complete nephrology fellowship training and be board eligible or certified in nephrology. The transplant nephrology fellowship application form is available here. Interested individuals can contact Melissa Smiles at (352) 846-2692 or melissa.smiles@medicine.ufl.edu for further details.
