Hello aspirant,

Clinical physicians that specialize in treating patients with kidney diseases are known as nephrologists.  The MBBS program must be completed, followed by a DM or MD in nephrology, in order to become a nephrologist. So, a clinical background is required to become a nephrologist.

If you fulfill this eligibility criteria, then you can do doctor of medicine in Nephrology.

Thank you

Hello there,

No, a Master's in Dialysis Technology does not directly qualify you for pursuing a Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Nephrology . MD Nephrology is a super-specialization course that typically requires completion of a MBBS degree , followed by a specialization in Internal Medicine (MD General Medicine) . After completing an MD in General Medicine, you can then pursue a DM in Nephrology .

To become a nephrologist , the standard path is:

1. MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) – 5.5 years
2. MD in General Medicine – 3 years
3. DM in Nephrology – 3 years

If you have a Master's in Dialysis, you are more specialized in dialysis procedures and patient care related to kidney disease, but you would not be qualified to become a medical doctor specializing in nephrology without going through the medical route.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Yes, if you meet the specific requirements for the MD program input, you can do Doctor of Kidney Medical (MD) after the end of the dialysis master. In principle, the kidney MD requires a medical degree (MBB or equivalent) as a prerequisite. If the master's program is part of the path of medical education, check the specific standards of an interested institution.
