The UAB Kidney Pipeline Program Office wishes you a very happy holiday season. This year has taught us to a greater degree the importance of each individual. We have been greatly impacted by each of you over the years and wish you all the best.

We want to thank all the faculty, staff, near peers (trainees and fellows) that make the programs run, even in the uncertain years.

Trainees, please know, whether you are a current, future, or former trainee, we are here to support you in your endeavors.
