Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Summarize current/recommended nephrology guidelines in clinical practice
• Explain the differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations of patients with renal disorders
• Identify/integrate current therapeutic options for specific renal disorders
• Review and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice
• Describe pathophysiological mechanisms as they apply to the management of renal disease
• Synthesize teachings to better performance on the ABIM nephrology certification/recertification

The target audience for the Intensive Review of Nephrology course is clinical and academic nephrologists, internists, pediatricians, and primary care physicians/trainees preparing for ABIM nephrology certification/recertification examinations and/or seeking a comprehensive update in renal medicine and its subspecialties.
