The Transplant Nephrology Fellowship Training Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is a one-year intensive clinical program approved by the American Society of Transplantation. There is one position available each year.

Since this fellowship is not accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), it is only available to candidates who have completed two years of an ACGME-accredited (or equivalent) nephrology fellowship. 

Candidates completing this training are considered eligible for United Network for Organ Sharing-approved medical directorships for individual transplant programs.

Program overview

The Comprehensive Transplant Center at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is one of the largest organ transplant programs in the nation, performing approximately 200 kidney and 30 pancreas transplants annually.

The four full-time transplant nephrologists participate in all aspects of patient management, working alongside the transplant surgeons. Post-transplant care is provided as a multidisciplinary, collaborative model both in inpatient and outpatient settings. The center also provides long-term care for the duration of the allograft function, regardless of longevity.
