About the Program

Established in 1979, the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center (LAMC) Nephrology Fellowship Program has trained over 40 nephrologists practicing both across the country and internationally in clinical, academic, and administrative roles. Our fellows are exposed to all aspects of both inpatient and outpatient Clinical Nephrology. LAMC is an active tertiary care hospital. Inpatient and outpatient transplant experience is provided during rotations at UCLA Medical Center . Care management and the involvement of multidisciplinary teams is emphasized.

The academic program is designed to provide an intensive and structured clinical and research experience for physicians in training so that they may develop the skills necessary to become highly accomplished nephrologists in the clinical, research, or academic environment. In 2007, the Nephrology program received the maximal 5 year accreditation by the ACGME. Over the past 10 years, Nephrology Board Exam pass rate has been 100%.

The Nephrology Fellowship Program is a two-year program, with three residents each year.
