*Online registration is now closed. If you are interested in attending the Nephrology program you are welcome to register at the door on Friday.

The Nephrology team returns to bring the topics you requested! This half-day morning program will upskill you on signs, symptoms and severities of kidney diseases such as Glomerulonephritis/Nephritis and when patients with these conditions should be referred. In addition, you will examine different approaches to the management of patients with nephrological disorders, including how to support them when they request home dialysis and even palliative care. You will also contemplate the expectations of care from the perspective of a patient and will be able to list examples of how to improve care for patients with kidney disease.
