The first year consists of a structured year of clinical rotations. The second year can be individualized to meet the needs of the trainee and their intended field of practice. Examples of electives for the second year include clinical research, basic research, community nephrology, hypertension, longitudinal satellite dialysis, progressive renal insufficiency, and pediatric nephrology. Each fellow has their own longitudinal fellows&#8217; clinic once weekly for the duration of their training.<\/p>\n<h3>Faculty<\/h3>\n<p>The strength of our program comes from our faculty. Our division is comprised of 20 nephrologists. Our faculty has expertise in clinical epidemiology, basic science, translational research, and medical education.<\/p>\n<h3>Affiliated Hospitals and Programs<\/h3>\n<p>The Ottawa Hospital &#8211; Civic Campus has an active consult service and a 22-station hemodialysis unit. Patients at the Heart Institute have access to both services. The General Campus has a 25-bed nephrology clinical teaching unit, a 32-station hemodialysis unit, and an active consult service. The Riverside Campus is the location of our general nephrology, transplant, hypertension, progressive renal insufficiency clinics as well as 32-station hemodialysis unit and home dialysis unit.<\/p>\n<h3>Teaching<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to rotation specific teaching from our award-winning faculty, our program has a well-established core curriculum of teaching sessions that include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clinical case discussion<\/li>\n<li>Evidence-based nephrology rounds<\/li>\n<li>Fellows Rounds<\/li>\n<li>Journal Club<\/li>\n<li>Nephrology Grand Rounds<\/li>\n<li>Pathology Rounds<\/li>\n<li>Post fellows\u2019 clinic discussion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Research<\/h3>\n<p>The Division of Nephrology has both clinical and basic science investigators with opportunities to do research at the bench and the bedside.
