General Information
The ISN COMGAN Fellowship program provides relevant and contemporary nephrological training to physicians from emerging countries, with the ultimate goal of improving the standards in the Fellows' home countries upon their return.
ISN Fellows receive hands-on training in advanced host institutions, allowing them to acquire state-of-the-art knowledge in basic and clinical nephrology, dialysis, transplantation, and epidemiology. The training focuses on providing the exact skills and knowledge specifically required by the home institution.

The Program Guide provides an overview on the application requirements, eligibility criteria, selection procedure, end-of-training benefits, and more.
Special Fellowships
Over recent years, the ISN Fellowship Program has expanded to allow opportunities for nephrologists from emerging countries to train in Host Centers in their own region of the world, rather than exclusively in North America, Europe, or Australasia.
Please click on the following link to find out more about Special Fellowships.
Fellowship Matching Initiative
The Fellowship Matching Initiative helps potential applicants to locate a host center that offers suitable training in nephrology.
Global Fellowship Clubs
Akin to alumni networks, these clubs help past Fellows stay in touch - as well as actively support ISN COMGAN's mission of fighting kidney disease on a global scale: Global Fellowship Clubs.
