Nephrology Fellowship, Class of 2027

 

Medical school: West Virginia University School of Medicine, Morgantown, WV
Residency program: Mayo Clinic Hospital, Phoenix, AZ

I chose to pursue nephrology fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Arizona after having the opportunity to rotate on the general nephrology service as a medicine resident.  I was inspired by the comprehensive understanding of physiology, teamwork, and compassionate care demonstrated by the consultants. The experience provided excellent exposure to high acuity and extremely complex patient cases. Each day on the service, I continue to feel encouraged by the decision to expand my clinical experience and training.  I am very grateful to learn from and work with such kind and dedicated staff members that promote such a positive learning environment.

Nephrology Fellowship, Class of 2027

 

Medical school: Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, Mexico
Residency program: Abrazo Health Network, Glendale, AZ

I chose to pursue my General Nephrology Fellowship with Mayo Clinic in Arizona because of the incredible experience I had during my away rotation here as an internal medicine resident.  I was deeply impressed by the welcoming and collaborative culture, where the teaching attendings fostered a supportive yet intellectually challenging environment that pushed me to improve my critical thinking skills. The comprehensive clinical experience, combined with the opportunity to learn from nationally recognized faculty, made Mayo Clinic in Arizona the perfect place for me to advance my training and become a well-rounded nephrologist. Beyond the exceptional academic environment, Arizona's beautiful hiking trails offer a perfect balance for maintaining wellness and an active lifestyle.
