Beware University of Minnesota fellowship program
This is a throw away account for obvious reasons - I hope admin will allow this post to stand.
I completed the U of Minnesota nephrology fellowship within the past few years. I am recommending that any smart applicant NOT RANK the program. This is a malignant program!
The program leadership is not supportive. They will not help you find a job.
Much of the faculty is unhappy and uninterested in teaching the fellows.
Fellows are second class citizens, simply warm bodies to write notes and take call.
Minneapolis is a great city and the VA there is great. If you want to do fellowship there consider the Hennepin County Medical Center program.
PM me if you have specific questions, I am happy to discuss more.
Best of luck to all applying for fellowship, nephrology is an amazing field. I love it, despite my poor fellowship experience.
