NEPHROLOGY

This rotation is designed to give the PGY 1 Intern an early exposure to all levels of kidney disease (Acute, Chronic, Acute on Chronic) in both the Inpatient (50%) and Outpatient (50%) as well as acid base disorders, electrolyte disturbances and more. Lessons learned on this rotation will greatly aid the resident in the next two years of training and beyond. The Rotational Goals are laid out for PGY 1 with Goals for PGY 2 and 3 included so that interns can envision the progressive level of responsibility that will be expected to demonstrate in the coming years of the residency as they care for nephrology patients in various settings such as office, inpatient services, and wards.
