The major objective of this course is to prepare attendees for the ABIM Subspecialty Board Examination in
Nephrology (Certification/Re-Certification). We will convey state-of-the-art information on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management
of renal disorders. The major issues of fluid and electrolyte problems, hypertension, renal disease and the management of acute and chronic
renal failure will be addressed. Many outstanding clinicians and teachers have been chosen as course instructors. The program will consist
of daily lectures, “meet the professor” luncheons and intensive board review sessions covering the most important topics in nephrology.
Throughout the course we will emphasize the practical application of physiological principles to the understanding and management
of clinical problems. The course should be most valuable for clinical and academic nephrologists, nephrology trainees and internists, pediatricians
and primary care physicians with an interest in nephrology and hypertension. This course should be an excellent intensive board
review for those registered to take the nephrology boards and a comprehensive update for those seeking recertification.
HDCN is pleased to present a selection of a number of presentations from this annual course. For more information on future courses, which take place every summer in Boston, usually in August, please click here.
