Glomerulonephritis Fellowship

The fellowship largely consists of outpatient evaluation and management of patients with glomerular disease. This includes several weekly GN clinics, bi-monthly lupus nephritis clinic (patients are seen concurrently with Rheumatology), and OncoNephrology clinic (optional). The fellow also completes 8 weeks on the acute Nephrology inpatient service.

Kidney biopsy review with Nephropathology will be an integral component of the fellowship and the fellow will be involved in teaching general nephrology fellows, residents, and both medical and PA students. The fellow will also be expected to present at journal club and clinical case conference.

A key component of the fellowship includes exposure to clinical trials for patients with various glomerular diseases. Northwestern is also a site for the NIH-funded CureGN study and the fellow will be involved in both recruitment and study visits.
