"I have been a member of Baylor's Section of Nephrology since 2016. It is truly a wonderful environment. I consider it a privilege to work with such an outstanding group of faculty. Our faculty make outstanding contributions to the clinical care of Houston's amazingly diverse patient population and the education of Baylor College of Medicine medical students, residents, and fellows, while also excelling in clinical and basic nephrology research, quality improvement, and advocacy on behalf of people with kidney disease. The collegiality in the Section and the College are outstanding, and I feel very fortunate to work in such an amazing academic medicine environment." - Carl Walther
