Internal Medicine and Pediatric Trainees Program

The National Kidney Foundation invites Internal Medicine and Pediatric trainees to apply for sponsorship to attend SCM10. The intent of this sponsorship program is to encourage highly qualified and interested individuals to enter the field of Nephrology. We hope that by exposing Internal Medicine and Pediatric trainees to cutting-edge clinical and experimental Nephrology in a stimulating learning environment, they may gain a better understanding of our subspecialty. The program is intended for those individuals who may be interested in but are not already committed to a Nephrology fellowship program. Selected applicants will receive complimentary registration to the Meeting as well as travel grants of up to $900, depending upon travel distance. While we recognize that house staff often has difficulty getting coverage at their home institutions for their travel, acceptance of a travel grant means that the individual will be present for the entire Resident's program from Thursday, April 15 at 8:00am through Friday April 16th at 7:15pm. All applications must be submitted by December 1, 2009.
