“The moment I walked into the department at the start of my fellowship, I was welcomed with open arms by the faculty and administrative staff, and I knew this was where I was supposed to be. Then, the real work started. The faculty are all very grounded and had very unique ways of delivering their lectures and this made it very adaptable. I always felt supported at all times. During the course of my training, I navigated through various rotations and saw and managed various renal pathologies from CKD to ESRD to acute nephrology. Name it, we see it all at Temple. I particularly enjoyed our pathology conferences which was hosted by our seasoned pathologist. I felt it was very impactful and it helped me to have a firm grasp of glomerulonephritis and transplant issues. The didactics at Temple nephrology are also very insightful providing me more insight into groundbreaking innovations in nephrology. Also at Temple nephrology, it’s a place you can air your views without fear of judgement. You see, I came to Temple to expand my knowledge base. I came to Temple to learn nephrology. I can beat my chest to say that I was able to achieve both. I will always have Temple in my heart. We are Temple strong.” Ogbugo Emeh, MD

“The Nephrology Training Program at Temple University Hospital offers unparalleled clinical training, immersing trainees in a broad spectrum of nephrology-focused care, including the management of patients undergoing organ transplants and those with glomerular diseases. The program’s emphasis on strong clinical experience and first-hand exposure to renal biopsies, combined with structured didactics and research opportunities, significantly deepened my understanding of nephrology and evidence-based practice. The supportive faculty and collegial environment created an exceptional learning atmosphere and made my time here immensely rewarding. I highly recommend this program to anyone dedicated to excelling in the field of nephrology.” -Muhammad Umair Jahngir, MD, Temple Nephrology, Class of 2024, Post -Training Path: Critical Care Fellowship, New York University

“I am incredibly proud and satisfied with the training I received in the Temple Nephrology Fellowship Program. I appreciated the well-balanced combination of autonomy, supervision, and mentorship. The environment is conducive to both personal and professional growth. I received encouragement and support in customizing my training to achieve my goals. The schedule also promotes a healthy work-life balance, which is another positive aspect.” -Edva Noel, MD, Temple Nephrology, Class of 2023, Post-Training Path: Critical Care Fellowship, University of Pittsburgh

“I decided to train at Temple University Hospital because of its reputation for serving a diverse patient population, exposing trainees to both common and unique cases. The training covers all aspects of nephrology practice, such as CKD care, ESKD management, and transplant medicine. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to treat numerous cases of acute kidney injury and electrolyte disorders, particularly hyponatremia, which are the most common reasons for nephrology consultation in daily practice. A well-structured didactic schedule is another perk for fellows. It consists of weekly journal clubs to discuss hot off press clinical trials, weekly grand rounds to debate current management practices, and a weekly biopsy conference—possibly the most educational of them all. Lastly, the faculty at TUH is readily available to satisfy your educational needs and has extensive experience in their respective fields.” -Waqas Khan, MD, Temple Nephrology, Class of 2022, Post-Training Path: Private Practice, Allentown/Easton/Bethlehem, PA

“Great exposure; one handles the most critical patients. I learned how to be both effective and efficient as a nephrologist. This skill is crucial for achieving work-life balance while pursuing a stimulating and fulfilling career. Nephrologists trained at Temple are prepared to excel in various job formats, whether in private practice or academia.” - Zaima Choudary, MD, Temple Nephrology, Class of 2021, Post-Training Path: Private Practice, Binghampton, NY, Director of Hypertension
