Hi! I'm Rhodes Hambrick, MD.
Pediatric Nephrology Fellow
- He brings energy and creativity to sessions—encouraging students to talk through concepts, using humor and even music to make material stick, and building trust through his deep content knowledge.
- He’s skilled at working with students who’ve struggled, combining accountability, encouragement, and high-yield strategies rooted in adult learning theory to help them turn things around.
- He creates a positive, forward-moving environment by celebrating small wins, reframing setbacks, and keeping students grounded in their long-term goals and motivation.
It is satisfying to help a student finally "get" something that they've been stymied by for ages - so often a student will tell me that's the best way anyone has ever explained that to me", and those moments are huge wins!
