The Nephrology Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital prepares our fellows for the next decade of nephrology—whether they choose careers in academic or clinical nephrology. Set in a beautiful facility on New York's Upper East Side, our program builds upon Mount Sinai's rich clinical history and benefits from a faculty deeply committed to excellence in nephrology education, research, and patient care.

Our program's strength is evident in its comprehensive scope and outstanding outcomes. We maintain cutting-edge programs in acute and long-term kidney care, a sophisticated end-stage kidney disease program with modern outpatient facilities for both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and a dynamic kidney and pancreas transplantation program. Our commitment to academic excellence is reflected in our graduates' success, with the majority securing full-time academic faculty positions over the past decade. The division's research portfolio spans crucial areas including glomerular disease, biomarker discovery, HIV-associated nephropathy, hypertension, transplantation, dialysis, vascular access, cystic kidney disease, kidney transport, stem cells, and genetics.

We provide robust support for diverse career paths within nephrology. Fellows interested in research careers benefit from our NIH U2C/TL1 multi-institutional training grant, institutional immunology NIH T32 training grant, and Clinical Translational Science Award. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers 10 master's degree programs in various biomedical fields. For those seeking specialized clinical expertise, we offer one-year advanced training opportunities in transplantation, critical care, home dialysis, glomerular disease/onconephrology, geriatrics, and palliative medicine. With Mount Sinai's commitment to advancing molecular therapies and diagnostic technologies, fellows join a vibrant scientific community supported by experts in genetics, gene therapy, molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, and physiology.

We invite motivated candidates to join our fellowship program, where they will find unparalleled opportunities for growth, mentorship from renowned faculty, and the foundation for a successful career in nephrology.
