| Summary: | Biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing renal pathology and the procedure is required to be learned per ACGME guidelines for Nephrology Fellowship graduation. We describe the process for the planning and development of a new Nephrologist directed native renal biopsy program to increase the opportunity to train Nephrology fellows in this procedure. The article outlines the barriers, complications and lessons learned to developing the program, highlighting the key challenges and progress that has been made within a single American tertiary academic medical center. |
