The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension offers a dynamic, two-year, fully accredited training program in nephrology. Our program provides structured educational and clinical opportunities allowing fellows to acquire the knowledge, clinical skills and professional attitudes to be excellent nephrologists. Our division cares for approximately 140 chronic dialysis patients with end stage renal failure and offers medical services, including inpatient and outpatient medical services for kidney diseases. Our transplant program performs approximately 60 transplants per year.
All Faculty have full time academic appointments and are committed to teaching. Faculty within the division conduct clinical research, including bench research, outcomes based protocols, and drug trials. Research opportunities are plentiful including collaborative work with basic scientists, as well as opportunities for research with clinical faculty.
The Nephrology Fellowship Program at East Carolina University is an exciting place to learn and grow. We welcome and encourage one-month nephrology rotations, as this affords a mutual opportunity to evaluate each other. Thank you for your interest in East Carolina University Nephrology and Hypertension.
