I’m a nephrologist from Sydney, Australia who did the Home Therapies Fellowship with BC Renal from January 2024 to January 2025. I was drawn to this fellowship because I felt I didn’t receive enough exposure to home dialysis during my training and wanted to gain more experience in this important area. I had also heard about the fellowship’s supportive structure and comprehensive teaching, and I knew it would be valuable preparation for a career in regional Australia. During my fellowship, I worked on developing Best Practice Guidelines for Home Hemodialysis. This project deepened my understanding of how to support patients in the community and strengthened my skills in program development, quality improvement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. One of the standout aspects of the fellowship was the excellent work-life balance, which gave me the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of British Columbia and connect with new friends from all over the world. This experience has shaped my career path significantly. I’ve been fortunate to secure a position in a major regional centre in Australia, where I plan to apply what I’ve learned to expand and improve access to home dialysis therapies.I’m grateful for the mentorship and support I received through BC Renal, and I highly recommend this fellowship to anyone looking to build expertise in home therapies and make a difference in patient-centred kidney care.
