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!"

"Iā€™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."
