In this world-renowned role, he serves as co-editor for the Nephrology Self-Assessment Program, the premier continuing education program for ASN. But he\u2019s most loyal to the community that first inspired him.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hladik came to UNC as an internal medicine resident in 1989, where a distinct learning environment combined with remarkable faculty and fellows introduced him to an area of medicine he most wanted to pursue. Dr. Hladik became a nephrology fellow in 1994 and joined the faculty in 1996. He served as Medical Director of UNC Hospital\u2019s Acute Dialysis Program until this year, and was medical director of Carolina Dialysis-Carrboro for 13 years. He\u2019s also served as the Program Director of the nephrology fellowship program since 2009. Most recently, he served as Interim Chief for the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am deeply honored to have this opportunity to serve as Division Chief at UNC,\u201d said Dr. Hladik. \u201cTo follow Dr. Ronald Falk and the amazing leaders in nephrology at UNC is truly humbling. This is such an exciting time in nephrology\u2014we are on the cusp of major breakthroughs that will transform the lives of people living with kidney disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His academic mission is to improve education in nephrology spanning from foundational training in kidney physiology and nephrology during medical school, residency, and fellowship, through advanced education for practicing nephrologists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am indebted to the mentorship and collaboration of Dr. Ronald Falk and the incredible team of colleagues and staff that he has built over the past 30 years,\u201d said Dr. Hladik. \u201cI look forward to working with our amazing faculty, staff, and trainees to strengthen UNC\u2019s already robust work in nephrology research, education and clinical care.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- description --> <\/p>\n<p class='lead'>Ronald Falk, MD, Chairman of the Department of Medicine has announced that Gerald
