Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

• Interpret the fundamental concepts of nephrology in the areas of kidney function and structure; sodium and water abnormalities; glomerular and vascular disorders; acid base and potassium disorders; tubulointerstitial disorders and cystic disorders; CKD and ESKD; hypertension; AKI and ICU nephrology; calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium disorders and stones; transplantation; and pregnancy.
• Formulate diagnostic and therapeutic options for the management of kidney diseases; and
• Test individual medical practice competence against a series of simulated patient/case scenarios.

Target Audience

• Board Examination Participants: Individuals are thoroughly prepared for upcoming certification and MOC exams.
• Individuals participating in LKA who prefer a holistic review of the ABIM nephrology blueprint.
• Nephrology Fellows: Fellows seeking a detailed outline, discussion, and reinforcement of content from their current fellowship program.
• Senior Nephrologists: Practicing nephrologists in all key areas of the specialty. The course also benefits pediatric nephrologists, intensivists, and hospitalists.
