The interview

Our fellowship coordinator will contact the fellowship candidate by email with an interview offer. After an interview date is made, the applicant will have an itinerary arranged. Generally, interviews are arranged with all the members of the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, as well as current fellows, support staff, and selected faculty members from outside the Division. If the fellow candidate has a specific research interest, we will arrange an interview with a faculty member in that area.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are planning to hold virtual interviews for the 2020 match. This will give the applicants the opportunity to meet us and ask questions while still complying with social distancing guidelines and with any travel restrictions that may be in place. Details about the interview day will be provided when an interview is offered.

About the Program

Pediatric board certification

Medical specialty certification in the United States is a voluntary process which serves multiple purposes for the trainee and the public. Our training program aims to produce trainees who meet board eligibility criteria.

Certification:

  • Distinguishes a physician as someone with a distinct level of expertise
  • Provides more opportunities when applying for employment
  • Presents resources and tools by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS)
  • Promotes a commitment to lifelong improvement for providing the best patient care
  • Elevates physicians into the ranks of doctors committed to the highest standards of healthcare

For more information visit the American Board of Pediatrics for specifics on board certification requirements.
