Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Program Research and Scholarly Activities
Scholarly development is an integral component of UT Southwestern's Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Program. Fellows have opportunities to participate in clinical, translational, basic science, quality improvement, and educational research across UT Southwestern. Faculty members help fellows identify an area of interest and appropriate research mentorship early in fellowship so that they can develop and pursue a meaningful scholarly project during their training.
Through their scholarly work, fellows develop skills in study design, critical appraisal of the literature, data analysis, scientific writing, and presentation of research.
Fellows are encouraged to present their work at regional and national meetings and to pursue peer-reviewed publication. Research mentorship is available both within Pediatric Nephrology and through collaborations with investigators across UT Southwestern, including the Adult Nephrology Program.

Fellows will complete a research project per American Board of Pediatrics certification requirements.
