Drink enough water daily.

During a recent procedure, our nephrology fellows had the opportunity to assist with a kidney biopsy under the expert guidance of Dr. Marco Santiago, an esteemed Interventional Radiologist. This experience not only enhanced their clinical skills but also reinforced the importance of teamwork in patient care.

Grateful for the mentorship and learning opportunities provided by Dr. Santiago, the fellows are excited to apply this knowledge in future cases. ✨
