Glomerular Disease (Nephrology) fellowships in North America

Requires 24 months of training in an accredited nephrology programme (or equivalent with director approval), graduation from medical school within 10 years of starting, concurrent enrolment in a relevant Master's or PhD programme during the fellowship (may be deferred with approval), and English ability meeting the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC requirement (IELTS Academic, minimum 7 per component, if primary medical education and patient care were not in English).

Applicants complete the application link and attach a letter of intent (including proposed start date), CV and three references; earlier applications may be considered for flexible start dates.

Applicants are encouraged to inquire and apply during July-September of their second year of fellowship (this is a one-year program to be completed after two years of general nephrology).

Candidates for the Galdi Fellowship will have completed internal medicine residency training, a general nephrology fellowship, and demonstrate the highest level of performance and scientific and clinical potential. Candidates will be carefully vetted based upon academic and other indications suggesting that advanced training as a Galdi fellow would enable their ability to become one of a select few international leaders in glomerular diseases and onconephrology. This fellowship will last for one academic calendar year (July through June).

Interested applicants are invited to submit their applications online through the following link: [https://physicians.northwell.edu/education/graduate-medical-education/fellowship-nephrology-nsuh-lij/galdi-fellowship]. Following a review of applications, selected candidates will be invited to participate in an onsite interview process, which will include a presentation. A final decision regarding the fellowship recipient will be made considering the collective feedback of the interviewing faculty, the strength of the submitted letters of recommendation, and the candidate's overall presentation during the interview.
