Abstract
Although there have been mounting concerns over the decline in applicants to nephrology training programs, strategies to entice students and trainees to pursue a career in nephrology are lacking. Furthermore, the complex factors that contribute to career decisions and the lag between a positive interaction and a decision to pursue nephrology make such strategies difficult to assess. Nevertheless, it is still important to continue efforts to mentor and inspire. This article offers 10 strategies to help nephrologists share passion for nephrology in the clinical arena. These include the excitement of the dialysis unit, ethical dilemmas, pearls for the bedside, and questions “on the fly.”
