IM/Nephrology Track

 

4-year Internal Medicine / Nephrology Training Pathway!

 

The University of Kentucky offers an innovative ACGME and ABIM approved pilot program which allows select applicants to combine Internal Medicine and Nephrology in one pathway—reducing total training time to 4 years. We are excited to be leading this important advancement in medical education. The University of Kentucky will offer one position each year in the match.
