Henry Ford Health/Henry Ford Hospital Program
About This Program
Our fellows experience inpatient and outpatient nephrology at our 900-bed hospital and its on-site clinic and dialysis center. One to two of our first-year positions are reserved for candidates in the integrated three-year Nephrology/Critical Care fellowship. Eight months of critical care, as well as bronchoscopy, are integrated with 22 months of nephrology during this program, and graduates are eligible to be board-certified in both Nephrology and Critical Care.
