Fellowship Programs
Thank you for your interest in the Nephrology Fellowship Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) has a long established successful nephrology training program. The first nephrology fellow completed training from 1963 to 1965 at MCW (then Marquette University School of Medicine). Since then we have graduated 86 fellows who have gone onto successful careers in academic medicine and private practice.
Our program benefits from the broad clinical opportunities at the two major training sites, Froedtert Hospital and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Hospital. Our excellence in clinical practice, innovative research programs, and leadership in academic medicine has led to national recognition; as noted by the Division of Nephrology’s 2017 ranking of number 42 in the nation by US News and World Report. Our fellows obtain a comprehensive education with a 94% board pass rate and were noted to be in the top three highest scoring US nephrology programs on the 2017 ITE exam. There is extensive experience for fellows in all aspects of nephrology including chronic kidney disease, dialysis, transplant, and acute and critical care nephrology. Based on individual interests, fellows can obtain experience in research within a number of strong research programs at MCW, such as the Kidney Stone group, the large Renal Physiology group, and the Center for Patient Care and Outcomes Research. We ensure that our fellows develop the skills necessary for any of the diverse practice setting available in the field of Nephrology.
We are currently accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) with the longest cycle granted.
