As the dog days of summer approach, are you looking for ways to help pass time? Consider listening to these healthcare podcasts:

Kidney Commute – a podcast by NKF for the interprofessional renal healthcare team to earn CE on-the-go.

Hot Topics in Kidney Health – this is a patient podcast by NKF and recent topics include laughter therapy, reproductive care, treatment options for undocumented people, and the post-transplant diet.

Kidney Essentials – created for medical students and residents of the University of Colorado to make nephrology more accessible and less intimidating; includes a brief explanation on renal pathophysiology.

If you’re looking for a kidney research study, check out the NKF Research site for information on study and grant participation opportunities.

Hello Everyone!

Happy Summer!

Spring Clinical Meetings 2023 has now come to a close completely. With new virtual technology, it lasts longer than just those few days that are spent together in person. It is a bittersweet time every year. The joy of seeing friends and colleagues that you often only see once a year. The fatigue that happens from excess learning, preparing for presentations, committee meetings, travel and networking that happens in a community of like mindedness. By joining CNSW, you too can share in these great moments.
