OBJECTIVE

You will take home:

  • An understanding of the clinically important advances that have been made in common diseases
  • An awareness of areas of strength and weakness
  • Recommendations for optimal management of many common diseases
  • A complete syllabus that will allow you to review material at home

The major objective of this course is to review for the practicing Nephrologist the pathophysiologic and clinical advances in the major areas of Nephrology, including glomerular disease, fluid and electrolyte disorders, hypertension, dialysis, and renal transplantation. To achieve this goal, our national faculty consists of outstanding clinicians and teachers who have directly contributed to these advances.

The material will be presented in several formats including lectures, case-based workshops and interactive sessions in which Nephrology and recertification board type questions will be used to highlight important clinical issues of diagnosis and therapy.

Most days there will also be several "Meet the Professor" sessions at lunchtime, which will allow attendees to meet in smaller groups with members of the faculty.

This program is endorsed in part by the International Society of Nephrology
