55th Annual Medical Symposium

Friday, October 13, 2023 - 8:00am to 5:00pm
Foster City, CA

Overview

Once again in-person, NKF’s 55th Annual Medical Symposium, a Bay Area nephrology tradition, is a day-long program bringing together the kidney health professional community.  With expert faculty and patients as guides, we explore clinical advances, cultural trends, and current research outcomes that will inform our work. This annual gathering is part education and part reunion. We look forward to coming together in person to hear new and inspiring perspectives, embrace new learnings, and become better partners in care to those facing the challenges of kidney disease.

Not able to make it the day of? Register to receive on-demand access to the recorded sessions available a week after live program (October 20th, 2023), earning the full 7.0 CE/CME  on your own time.
