The difference is ~30k annually, both medium density areas with similar cost of living. Similar workload from talking to the fellows.
The lower paying one offers an extra year of Crit care training
Not sure exactly what my question is, but from the people who are/have been in a similar position - Is taking QOL hit for those 3 years worth it? :/
Hi! Im a clinical pharmacist in the 🇵🇭. Im just curious how nephrologists decide on dose of antibiotics based on HD modalities? :)
Been encountering orders that aren’t consistent w tx guidelines.
Would like to know your thought process and how should we pharmacist intervene? :)
Thanks!
Hey everyone!
I’m a current PGY2 applying nephrology next year and would love some honest advice on where I’d be competitive and whether away rotations are worth doing.
Stats:
US-IMG
Step 1: Pass, Step 2: 214, Step 3: taking in December
At University affiliated program
Not much kidney specific research experience because I just figured out what I want to do when I grow up
Currently working on a CKD screening/health equity QI project
Some leadership and community outreach experience
I’m really passionate about CKD prevention, health disparities, and working with underserved communities. I’d love to train somewhere academic, ideally in a place in mountains and lots of greenery (non negotiable for me)
I know nephrology is less competitive but I also understand that I’m not exactly a super competitive applicant given my step 2
Score
I’ve been looking at Dartmouth, UW, OHSU, and WVU, but I’m not sure how realistic those programs are for me, especially with my Step 2 score.
A few questions: How competitive do you think I’d be for academic nephrology programs? Is it worth trying to set up away rotations (my clinical and personal skills are way better than my step 2 score lol), and if so, where would you recommend? Are there any programs I’m overlooking that might be a good fit?
I know nephrology is generally less competitive, but I’m trying to be realistic about where to apply or set up away rotations. Would really appreciate any insight, especially from current fellows or recent applicants!

I was tired of ad hoc googling crappy pictures when explaining kidney conditions to families, so I added a 3d kidney model with a dozen different pathologies on it
Could come in handy for student/resident education as well as in clinic. Hope you find it useful 🙂

Hi all - my artwork was featured on the cover of AJKD
I do want to share this message of gratitude to you all
This digital artwork was created using a digital artwork tool, Procreate, on an iPad without the use of any generative artificial intelligence. It aims to appreciate every patient, nephrology clinician, family member, and caregiver who pours their dedication into making a difference in the lives of those touched by kidney disease. Each of them is represented as a kidney bean.
In this world, you will see a bean pushing through rehabilitation, a bean patiently explaining kidney care to another, a bean receiving dialysis, a bean undergoing a transplant, and countless others, each living their own quiet kidney disease journey.
This artwork took 13 hours and 19 minutes to bring to life, a small reflection of the endless hours those in the world of nephrology give every single day.
