Nephrology: a speciality with a purpose.
Nephrology is a complex and interesting specialty, with a broad variety of clinical conditions and wide range of medical practice – from specialist to generalist, from management of acutely affected patients to a long-term holistic care. Its complexity is not only charming but well respected in internal medicine. Nephrology provides an intellectually stimulating and challenging working environment. It is defined by the care of patients with diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. It is comprised of several significant components including general medicine, basic science, clinical research and teaching, as well as the clinical areas of transplantation, dialysis, hypertension, obstetric medicine, and an opportunity for procedural work. The NSW/ACT Nephrology Advanced Training Program offers three year appointments for trainees within four distinct training networks with the opportunity to preference your preferred networks. Individual training needs to meet training requirements of the College of Physicians, as well as trainee interests, are considered when allocating terms to offer an individualised program for each of the network’s trainees.
The program will host an information session on Thursday 23rd July 2026 where you will hear from our four Networks on the excellent training program and what to expect throughout your training journey with us. Please click here to register Nephrology Information Session - Information Sessions
