Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell Program
About This Program
Our nephrology fellowship trains 8 fellows across two tertiary care centers with a robust kidney transplant program. The program fosters a positive learning environment supported by a diverse and welcoming faculty. A night float system and a dedicated nephro-hospitalist service optimize wellness and education by reducing clinical burden. Second-year fellows may pursue specialized focus tracks. Robust training in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is available.
