Nephrology Fellowship Program Located in the geographic center of Brooklyn - New York City's largest borough - this university based teaching program aims to prepare both practitioners and investigators to enter the exciting and fast evolving field of kidney disease and its management. Brooklyn is the home of Walt Whitman, Thomas Wolf, Arthur Miller, Barbara Streisand, Danny Kaye, Jackie Robinson, Austin Flint, Jean Redman Oliver, Barry M. Brenner, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, and Peter Luger's Steak House - number one in the United States. Brooklyn scintillates with creative talent in the arts and sciences and has produced more medical department chairpersons than any other region of the country. An unusual aspect of this program is the fellow's exposure to Federal [Brooklyn Veterans Administration Hospital (907 beds + 3 ICUs], State [University Hospital of Brooklyn (376 beds + 3 ICUs)], and municipal (City) [Kings County Hospital Center (1,150 beds + 5 ICUs)]. Program graduates now direct renal programs in Asia, South America, Europe, Africa, and throughout the United States. A total of 18 nephrologists are directly involved in the nephrology training program. Additional basic science and clinical faculty participate in fellow instruction through collaborative research projects. Monica M. Beyer, Assistant Professor of Medicine, serves as a supervisor of fellowship affairs to blend the multiple facets of rotations, training, investigation, and meeting attendance into an effective program.
