AST Transplant Nephrology Fellowship Training Accreditation Program, LLC
The goal of the AST Transplant Nephrology Fellowship Training Accreditation Program, LLC is to establish the procedures for accrediting transplant nephrology fellowship training programs to standardize transplant nephrology training for transplant nephrologists and provide a method of uniform documentation of education for those who wish to head renal transplant programs.
The joint American Society of Nephrology (ASN) and the American Society of Transplantation (AST) Task Force on Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Accreditation for Transplant Nephrology applied in early 2024 for ACGME recognition of transplant nephrology as an accredited subspecialty of nephrology. By supporting a broad and nationwide adoption of uniformly rigorous transplant nephrology training, ASN and AST hope to improve the quality of care provided to patients in both pre- and post-transplant phase. This transition will phase out the AST Transplant Nephrology Fellowship Training Accreditation Program. Learn more here.
