Description
With 70+ lectures, case discussions, and board preparation sessions, this online CME program is an indispensable and comprehensive review of state-of-the-art nephrology practices offered by the clinical faculty of Harvard Medical School.
Intensive Review of Nephrology also offers board review practice sessions and board-relevant Q&As, with a particular focus on acid base and electrolyte disorders, glomerulonephritis, transplantation, renal pathology, and clinical images. Plus, you get valuable continuing medical education insight on:
- Genetic testing for improved prognosis and therapy selection
- Introduction to point-of-care ultrasound: fundamentals for acquisition and interpretation
- Physical exam of the dialysis access
- Expanding the role of SGLT2i in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease
- Cases in cryptonephrology
- The new fundamentals in immunology and nephrology (it’s not just for transplant patients)
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Summarize current/recommended nephrology guidelines in clinical practice
- Explain the differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations of patients with renal disorders
- Identify/integrate current therapeutic options for specific renal disorders
- Review and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice
- Describe pathophysiological mechanisms as they apply to management of renal disease
- Synthesize teachings to better performance on the ABIM nephrology certification/recertification examinations
