Educational Goals

  1. The transplant service builds the foundations for a broad knowledge base in transplant nephrology, by providing fellows/residents exposure and opportunities to manage tertiary and quaternary referral patients, as well as managed primary care patients.  

  2. The fellow/resident is expected to develop competency in providing compassionate and thorough care to a medically and socially diverse group of hospitalized patients.

  3. The purpose of this rotation is to provide the fellow/resident with the education and experience necessary in caring for inpatient renal transplant patients. 

EPIC Training

EPIC is the EMR utilized at Johns Hopkins University. The coordinator for the renal transplant rotation will reach out to the Sinai resident to help with scheduling. If EPIC training conflicts with inpatient Sinai duties, the resident is responsible for arranging coverage and letting the chiefs know. EPIC training must be completed prior to the start of each JHU rotation.

Rotation Structure

The transplant nephrology team includes: Transplant Nephrology attending, Transplant Nephrology Fellow, General Nephrology Fellow, JHH APP, and Sinai PGY3 who work with both transplant nephrology and transplant surgery teams. 

Typical working day starts at 6:55 AM by obtaining the sign-out and pagers from the moonlighters. The residents and fellows on the team then see and evaluate their patients whom they are assigned to care for. 

All fellows and residents are expected to attend the rounds unless they are in clinic. The Transplant Nephrology Attending or the Transplant Nephrology Fellow will provide an orientation to explain the structure/workflow of the rotation on the first day of the residents’ rotation.
