More than 300 researchers have participated in NMRI workshops in the past decade, and that number continues to grow.The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) provides $1,500 USD per person in travel support to nephrologists and other researchers conducting kidney related research to attend the 2019 NMRI Annual Workshop.

The ASN Fellows Connect Community is a closed online forum for current Nephrology Fellows. This platform gives fellows the opportunity to connect with trainees from other instutions, ask questions, and share updates. You can visit the community here.

Renal Fellow Network

The Renal Fellow Network (RFN) was created by Nathan Hellman in 2008, to primarily share clinical perspectives, latest trials and intriguing cases in nephrology. Over a decade, this initiative has rapidly expanded into a major educational resource for renal trainees worldwide.

The partnership with American Society of Nephrology has consolidated the primary mission of RFN- to provide continued education and learning to nephrology fellows, along with being an aid to achieve clinical excellence.

Renal Fellow Network: Past and Future is a recent perspective shared in the Clinical Journal of American Society of Nephrology (CJASN).

Submissions are welcome from trainees from all stages and attendings. Please visit this page for further information.

Apart from educational material, the following resources are available on RFN:
