Take a virtual tour of some of the Nephrology spaces in the Mayo Clinic Hospital Building. As a Nephrology Fellow, you will begin your day walking through the beautiful Hospital Atrium and Lobby on your way to hospital rounds. During the inpatient hospital rotation, you will spend time on a multidisciplinary general nephrology consultative service and a kidney transplant service. During this service, you will see a wide range of patients ranging from inpatient dialysis patients, patients on the general medical or surgical floor, transplant patients, and patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). You may also enjoy spending time in the Employee Cafeteria during your break times.
The Davis Building serves as the main outpatient clinic for the Nephrology Fellowship. As a tertiary referral center based in the second-largest metropolitan city in the contiguous United States, you will benefit from seeing core "bread and butter" nephrology cases to rare cases that are specifically referred to an academic center for their complexity. This building is also the home of the Hypertension Clinic where fellows learn application of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitors, specialty clinics in Glomerulonephritis and Stone Clinic, and the Polycystic Kidney Disease Center of Excellence.
Visit the one-of-a-kind Mayo Clinic Dialysis Center where state-of-the-art dialysis is provided to patients in a comfortable, home-like facility. The dialysis center is Mayo-owned, and it offers outpatient in-center hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and home hemodialysis. This unit includes 24 private dialysis stations, three home-training rooms, and two exam rooms. The unique design of the unit preserves the quietness and feeling of being in a private room. As a first year fellow, you will spend two blocks in this unit. In your second year, you will have your own weekly continuity dialysis clinic panel to follow. Our fellows are trained not only to become proficient dialysis providers but future leaders as dialysis medical directors as well.
Throughout the fellowship, you will spend time in the state-of-the-art J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Simulation Center located in the Stabile Building on Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida. Our fellows can utilize the simulation center for practice in central line placement, kidney biopsy, point-of-care ultrasound, cross-cultural communication, nephrology OB/GYN cases, quality improvement projects, research, and more to meet the changing needs of the modern nephrologist.
Faculty advisers are available to provide comprehensive educational advice and personal support. You meet with your adviser periodically throughout the program to review your progress and career goals, and ensure that your educational needs are being met. In addition, each fellow is connected with protected time to meet with career mentors throughout their fellowship to provide assistance and guidance to reach their career goals.
Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year. They present their work during lectures, participate in hospital rounds and have informal discussions with trainees. You are encouraged to take full advantage of these educational opportunities.
