A PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND NETWORKING PROGRAM
Renal Roundtable programs are locally-based professional education events that bring together nephrologists and advanced practice clinicians for an opportunity for a collegial exchange of ideas and open dialogue amongst local nephrology professionals.
