Training

Clinical Fellowship

The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension offers clinical fellowships in adult nephrology, pediatric nephrology, glomerulonephritis, and transplant nephrology. Learn more about each of these clinical fellowship training programs on the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension website.

Research Training

In addition to the clinical fellowship training programs, we also have research training programs for a wide range of students from undergraduates to postdoctoral fellows.

We support predoctoral trainees and postdoctoral scholars engaged in research across the fields of benign kidney, benign urology and benign hematology (KUH) through our North Carolina Kidney, Urology, Hematology Training, Research, Innovation and Outreach Program (NC KUH TRIO). This is an interdisciplinary training program for students across North Carolina, with six participating institutions (UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, North Carolina Central University, Winston-Salem State University, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University). The principal goal of the TRIO program is to improve the care and outcomes for patients with KUH diseases, through a comprehensive program that will train and mentor a multidisciplinary workforce, from engineers to entrepreneurs to physicians, who will achieve this goal. Learn more about the program here. 

We also support undergraduate students through education program grants. Our North Carolina Kidney Technology Incubator (NC-KTI) is committed to training the next generation of leaders and champions for translational innovation in kidney and cardiovascular disease.
