Kamron Saleem, MD

Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Kamron Saleem, MD, earned his undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia, before completing medical school at Ross University School of Medicine in Portsmouth, Dominicana. After medical school, he had the opportunity to work for a year as a research fellow at Weill Medical College of Cornell University where he was exposed to clinical research and participated in the authorship of several publications. He then completed his internal medicine residency in Baltimore, Maryland at The University of Maryland School of Medicine and, in 2015, commenced his Nephrology Fellowship at the University of Arizona. “Thus far, my days as a Renal Fellow have been the most rewarding of my career,” Dr. Saleem said. “I enjoy coming to work every day. I am humbled to train under the guidance of such an extraordinary and accomplished faculty. I find a mentor in each of them, as they all have add to my knowledge on a daily basis, as well as giving me the opportunity to learn different styles of practice. Each day is intellectually stimulating.” He added, “We are fortunate to be exposed to a wide variety of renal pathology cases, yet have enough time for didactics, teaching residents and medical students, and plenty of time to laugh throughout the day. This is a special program, which fosters intellectual stimulation, encouragement to pursue any avenue of interest, and a very balanced lifestyle. Ultimately, I hope to return to my roots in the Pacific Northwest and join a private practice. I am fully confident that my training at the University of Arizona will provide me the tools to excel as a Nephrologist.”
