Fellowships

A range of nephrology fellowships are offered in BC, through both the UBC Division of Nephrology (UBC) and BC Renal.

UBC-funded subspecialty fellowships and residency include:

  • Core clinical
  • Transplant nephrology
  • Advanced nephrology training

BC Renal-funded fellowships provide enhanced training based on an individual’s area of interest, spanning:

  • Clinical
  • Research
  • Administrative/health systems

In addition, BC Renal-funded fellowships place an emphasis on:

  • Understanding the structure and function of the renal network in BC
  • The range of partnerships with BC Renal, including BC Transplant
  • The use of PROMIS, the information system for kidney and transplant care in BC

Fellows are provided the opportunity to be involved with BC Renal network projects, to varying degrees, and BC Renal provincial modality committees, for example, the Hemodialysis Committee, the Palliative Care Committee, etc.  

The collective goal of these fellowships is to improve nephrology knowledge translation and help fulfill the workforce demand for nephrologists provincially, nationally, and internationally.
