How To Apply- Important information for Fellows

Before beginning the Clinical/Research Training Program in Nephrology, a candidate should have completed at least two, and preferably three years of training in internal medicine. The Nephrology Division and the Massachusetts General Hospital are equal opportunity employers. Interested applicants should submit their application through ERAS between July 1 and January 15 for positions beginning July 1, 2008. We strongly recommend that applicants complete the ERAS application process before December 1 as this will facilitate timely interview dates. Fellowship programs can access applications on December 1. We will invite outstanding candidates for a two-day interview process to be scheduled in December or January. We do sponsor visas for exceptional trainees. We will also adhere to the recommendations of the American Society of Nephrology in that all applicants offered a position will not be required to make a final decision before February 1, 2007.

Opportunities for Minority Scientists and Physicians

Minority scientists and physicians are particularly encouraged to apply to the research and clinical training programs. In addition to the customary stipend received by trainees, some minority candidates may be eligible for additional funding. We also have recently instituted new programs to encourage the training of minority scientists at other levels, including a summer and sabbatical leave program for minority faculty from other US institutions and summer internships for undergraduates.
