This online CME course provides a comprehensive, case-based review of challenging clinical problems. Intensive Review of Nephrology sessions are led by nationally renowned speakers who discuss the practical application of physiological principles to the management of clinical problems, particularly for board exam preparation. Highlights include:
- Genetic testing for improved prognosis and therapy selection
- Introduction to point-of-care ultrasound: fundamentals for acquisition and interpretation
- Physical exam of the dialysis access
- Expanding the role of SGLT2i in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease
- Cases in cryptonephrology
- The new fundamentals in immunology and nephrology (it’s not just for transplant patients)
Learning Objectives
After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
- Summarize current/recommended nephrology guidelines in clinical practice
- Explain the differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations of patients with renal disorders
- Identify/integrate current therapeutic options for specific renal disorders
- Review and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice
- Describe pathophysiological mechanisms as they apply to management of renal disease
- Synthesize teachings to better performance on the ABIM Nephrology certification/recertification examinations
