Nephrology Fellowship Program
Montefiore Einstein’s Nephrology Fellowship Program offers a clinically rich nephrology experience in the heart of New York City. Our fellows gain experience treating a culturally and socioeconomically diverse patient population, presenting with a wide variety of kidney diseases. Our faculty cultivates a supportive learning environment that fosters clinical and scholarly curiosity, preparing our fellows for successful careers in academics and private practice.

Why our program could be right for you
In Montefiore Einstein’s well-rounded Nephrology Fellowship, our fellows achieve their highest potential while working in a supportive environment alongside caring faculty members. We are proud of the excellent clinical care we provide our diverse patient population, and of the multiple National Institutes of Health (NIH)–funded researchers who perform important basic and clinical studies here.
Moses Campus
Moses Campus provides tertiary care for a diverse patient population. While training at Moses, our fellows work in multiple Intensive Care Units (ICUs) where we treat critically ill patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and post-transplant. Fellows play a significant role in managing these patients using continuous renal-replacement therapies. An active kidney-transplant program (185 transplants in 2019) allows fellows to work closely with transplant surgeons and nephrologists, helping them learn a multidisciplinary approach to transplantation.
I chose Montefiore Einstein because of the diverse causes of kidney disease in the Bronx, which I saw during a visiting resident elective. I knew this would be an excellent place to train.

Jack D. Weiler Hospital, Einstein Campus
Jack D. Weiler Hospital is located on the Einstein Campus with close proximity to several neighborhood dialysis units. While rotating at Weiler, our fellows evaluate and manage patients with chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, pregnancy-related kidney complications and end-stage kidney disease. Fellows also evaluate outpatients on dialysis, including in-center hemodialysis, nocturnal dialysis, peritoneal dialysis and other home therapies. We have a full floor at Weiler dedicated to patients receiving peritoneal dialysis.
Montefiore Einstein Nephrology has it all. This is one decision that you will never regret.

A world-renowned faculty
A challenging and innovative curriculum
Montefiore Einstein exposes our Nephrology Fellows to the full breadth and depth of clinical nephrology, including acute kidney injury, glomerular disease, kidney stones, end-stage kidney disease and multiple forms of dialysis. Our fellows learn how to perform kidney biopsies, how to place dialysis catheters and other important skills that lay the groundwork for successful careers in nephrology.
There’s a huge variety of cases and procedures, and a constant flow of decisions that need to be made.
