General Information
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. Such Fellowships are consistent with the overall goal of the Fellowship Program to build capacity by offering appropriate clinical and research training.
ISN-TSN Fellowship
ISN offers a special opportunity for young nephrologists from Turkey that have been awarded a training grant from the Turkish Society of Nephrology. TSN Fellows that are interested in receiving additional funding by the ISN may apply to the ISN Fellowship Program. Provided they are successful, they will receive supplementary assistance on top of their TSN training grant, as well as the title "ISN-TSN Fellow" and the regular benefits granted to ISN Fellows.
The first ISN-TSN Fellow was selected in Fellowship session 2007-2. Dr. Murat Hayri Sipahioglu from Erciyes University in Turkey will train for 12 months at the Renal Research Institute in New York under the supervision of Dr. Nathan W. Levin.
