"I count on these meetings as my 1st choice for staying on top of everything I need to know to stay current in the renal space - and I am never disappointed!"
"I’m more confident with patient education, especially with health literacy and cultural considerations."
"I was surprised by and learned something new at each session and found they were inclusive to a variety of disciplines and while scientific and evidence based were also surprisingly easy to relate to and understand."
"I’m more excited, more engaged, more committed, and will push my team to do better to individually treat our patients."
