NKF Southern California Medical Symposium

NKF’s Southern California Medical Symposium is a day-long program bringing together the kidney health professional community. With expert faculty and patients as guides, we explore clinical advances, cultural trends, and current research outcomes that will inform our work. We look forward to coming together in person to hear new and inspiring perspectives, embrace new learnings, and become better partners in care to those facing the challenges of kidney disease. Join us and earn 4.5 CE/CME.
