About the IPNA Fellowship Program

Fellow

At the beginning of your fellowship, you will receive complimentary IPNA membership, giving you access to IPNA’s educational resources and the many benefits of being part of our global community. The IPNA Office will also contact you with information about the start of your training, the transfer of fellowship funds, and other administrative matters. You will be invited to join the IPNA Fellowship WhatsApp group, where you can connect with other IPNA Fellows, share your experiences, and exchange ideas throughout your training.

Towards the end of your fellowship, you will receive templates for the two required final reports—one to be completed by you and the other by your training centre. Submission of both reports is mandatory and is required to remain eligible for the IPNA Fellowship Travel Grant to attend the first IPNA Congress following the completion of your fellowship.

Testimonials

Dr. Azizur Rahman IPNA Fellow, NUH Singapore

Children’s kidney Centre at NUH has a warm, and supportive atmosphere for learning. This training also gave me opportunity to enhance procedural skills in pediatric nephrology. It has boosted my confidence. I will serve children who are suffering from renal disease in Bangladesh, who cannot afford advance care like developed country.

Dr. Zihui Lin IPNA Fellow, Children´s Hospital at Fudan University, Shanghai

After a year of study, I have mastered standard methods of diagnosis and treatment of common kidney diseases in children especially the management of critical complications of kidney diseases, renal replacement therapy and the management before kidney transplantation. I also participated in the collation of some scientific research data, which improved my research capacity.

Dr. Beatrice Nyann IPNA Fellow

The opportunity given me by IPNA to train in pediatric nephrology has been one of utmost importance in my medical career. The exposure through this training has been remarkably excellent. The support, teaching and supervision of my consultants have been amazing; not only in academic or professional engagements but social engagements as well. I have been able to meet my prior set objectives and additionally acquired other skills that were not originally part of my envisaged target goals.
