Welcome from our Program Director
Welcome to the HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood Nephrology Fellowship program. We are proud to announce that we received ACGME accreditation for the newly formed program in September 2023. Our fellowship program offers a unique and balanced approach to both clinical, work-life balance, and research aspects of Nephrology. Fellows will have the opportunity to see a plethora of renal pathologies and diseases, which are prevalent in Northeast Houston. Clinical training is supplemented by weekly didactics structured to improve clinical reasoning and effective translation of knowledge at bed side. The training is enhanced by research opportunities and fellows will have availability of a rich clinical data base and experienced research statistician to enhance their research experience. The Nephrology division is committed in promoting a diverse and inclusive faculty and staff and we welcome and encourage applicants from diverse background.
