Course Description
Who should
attend?
■ PRACTICING
NEPHROLOGISTS
INTERESTED IN
REFRESHING THEIR
KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR
SPECIALTY
■ PHYSICIANS
PREPARING FOR THE
NEPHROLOGY BOARDS
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.
The course will provide you with:
■ 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
This program is supported in part by the International Society of Nephrology
