Editing Nephrology (section)

====Australia and New Zealand====
Nephrology training in Australia and New Zealand typically includes completion of a medical degree ([[Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery]]: 4–6 years), [[Internship (medicine)|internship]] (1 year), Basic Physician Training (3 years minimum), successful completion of the [[Royal Australasian College of Physicians]] written and clinical examinations, and Advanced Physician Training in Nephrology (3 years). The training pathway is overseen and accredited by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, though the application process varies across states. Completion of a post-graduate degree (usually a [[PhD]]) in a nephrology research interest (3–4 years) is optional but increasingly common. Finally, many Australian and New Zealand nephrologists participate in career-long professional and personal development through bodies such as the Australian and New Zealand Society of Nephrology and the Transplant Society of Australia and New Zealand.
