RENAL ROUNDTABLE PROGRAMS
A PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND NETWORKING PROGRAM
Renal Roundtable programs are locally-based professional education events that bring together nephrologists, nephrology nurse practitioners, transplant providers, and those who care for patients with CKD (cardiologists, endocrinologists and nurse practitioners) with an opportunity to network as well as engaging presentations on issues that are relevant to their practice and patients. Three non-accredited dinner presentations will be held throughout the year with highly regarded speakers and thought leaders in CKD.
