* Date of Original Release: July 21-23, 2024

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

  • Interpret the fundamental concepts of nephrology in the areas of kidney function and structure; fluid and electrolyte disorders; glomerular and vascular disorders; potassium and acid base; tubulointerstitial disorders and nephrolithiasis; CKD, ESKD, and dialysis; hypertension; AKI, ICU nephrology, and pharmacology; bone and mineral metabolism; and transplantation.
  • Formulate diagnostic and therapeutic options for the management of kidney diseases; and
  • Test individual medical practice competence against a series of simulated patient/case scenarios.
