Tests and evaluations become available when a session is live and are completed by clicking each “Pretest” “Posttest” and “Evaluation” button. Attendees are required to complete tests and evaluations for sessions they would like to earn credit for. If you see a pretest or posttest button listed under a session, you must complete it before claiming credit.

After you’ve completed your session tests and evaluations, navigate to the “Certificates” tab to claim your credits. By selecting each "Claim Credits" button, a total number of your earned credits will be generated for each accrediting body. After the page refreshes, you should see your credit totals and two button options. Once you’ve claimed all earned credits, the “Claim” button will no longer be available.

Hear from our Attendees

"I count on these meetings as my 1st choice for staying on top of everything I need to know to stay current in the renal space - and I am never disappointed!"

"I’m more confident with patient education, especially with health literacy and cultural considerations."

"I was surprised by and learned something new at each session and found they were inclusive to a variety of disciplines and while scientific and evidence based were also surprisingly easy to relate to and understand."
