This year's conference focuses on new pharmaceutical therapies available as current guidelines developed to manage kidney diseases affecting a large population in the United States are already outdated. The learner knowledge on these therapies is limited. With this conference we aim to improve learner knowledge on new therapies available for patients with kidney disease to improve kidney care at a regional and national level.
This conference is for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare providers who want to enhance or develop their knowledge of nephrology practices.
