Title: “Treat the Kidney, Save the Heart: Novel Therapeutic Paradigm”
Renal Roundtable programs are locally-based professional education events that bring together physicians and advanced practitioners for an opportunity for a collegial exchange of ideas, open dialogue and networking amongst local medical professionals that care for those with kidney disease. Featuring compelling presentations and roundtable discussions with nationally renowned experts in the field - on cutting edge, and sometimes controversial issues, relevant to their practice - these non-accredited programs allow for the sharing of case studies, common experiences, and best practices.
