Description and Educational Objectives
Renal WeekEnds 2010 provides a comprehensive overview of Renal Week 2009. The fundamental aspects of the basic sciences that have potential for future integration into clinical medicine are presented alongside translational research and novel clinical breakthroughs in renal medicine. Six disciplines of nephrology are presented by respective experts in this format: acute kidney injury, kidney transplantation, hypertension, end-stage renal disease, glomerular disorders, and clinical nephrology. State-of-the-art information is cogently gauged against the prevailing body of knowledge, in evidence-based fashion, and summarized succinctly. A personalized Q & A session with the faculty melds these intellectual discussions with the practicing nephrologist.
At the end of the Renal WeekEnd meeting, the participant will be able to:
| 1. |
Identify important new discoveries in basic science kidney disease research; |
| 2. |
Analyze novel translational medical therapies that apply to future practice; |
| 3. |
Construct clinical research questions based upon the materials presented; |
| 4. |
Delineate best practices based on quality of evidence used in the learner's practice; and |
| 5. |
Determine clinical advances in hypertension, glomerular disorders, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, kidney transplantation, and end-stage renal disease that are transferable to daily practice. |
