Medical College of Wisconsin Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship
A Message from our Fellowship Program Directors
The Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship program at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Children’s Wisconsin hospital is dedicated to training the future leaders of Pediatric Nephrology. Our goal is to develop each trainee into an outstanding clinical and academic pediatric nephrologist. Our program provides a rich clinical environment with abundant resources for training in outpatient care, acute inpatient nephrology, kidney transplantation, and pediatric dialysis in our free-standing 280 bed children’s hospital. Academic pursuits are individualized to the trainees’ interests with mentoring from highly respected faculty throughout the medical college. We offer academic pathways in clinical research, basic science research, quality improvement or education. Our team encourages an environment of learning and is committed to provide fellows the time, guidance and support to succeed. We welcome you to visit us and see for yourself!

Our Spaces and Places
The moment I entered the MCW campus and met with the faculty and staff in pediatric nephrology I felt very welcomed. I knew that I would totally enjoy my fellowship years here; and I did. I learned a lot during my years of fellowship. There are plenty of opportunities available which along with the flexibility provided by the program gives you freedom to develop your portfolio just the way you want. The breadth of clinical exposure is extensive. The staff is very supportive and helps you remain focused on the clinical work and also helps protect your research time."
