NKF Technician Membership

 

At the National Kidney Foundation, we honor Technicians as an integral part of the kidney care team. That’s why we’re committed to providing support for dialysis technicians to enhance patient care and achieve optimal outcomes.

As representatives and advocates for NKF’s technician membership body, the Council of Nephrology Nurses and Technicians (CNNT) coordinates with other professional health organizations to promote effectiveness and develop valuable resources and education for dialysis technicians. CNNT helps protect the interests of practitioners, the well-being of patients, and works to affect changes in kidney healthcare legislation and public policies.

When you become an NKF Professional Member, you unlock a world of professional opportunities including accredited education, the latest in kidney research, and an unparalleled network of resources. Access tools for your practice and for your patients, all in one place. A portion of your dues are directed to NKF's research endowment fund and supports our lifesaving patient programs and services.
