Postdoctoral training in nephrology and hypertension at Yale University School of Medicine is offered in a traditional clinical + research track that is three (or more) years in duration and includes one year of clinical training and two (or more) years of clinical or laboratory research. This fellowship is designed to prepare trainees for academic careers in nephrology and hypertension.
