The Nephrology Fellowship Program at Lankenau Medical Center is a
two-year, fully accredited course of study, following the completion of
a three-year general internal medicine residency. Applicants should be
board-certified or board-eligible in internal medicine. Board-eligible
candidates will be expected to pass their internal medicine board exams
before completing their Fellowship.
The Fellowship is heavily weighted toward "hands-on" clinical experience
although clinical research is a critical part of the overall part of the
program.
