As the demands to meet the needs of an ever growing population of kidney disease patients are increasing, advanced practice nurses and physician assistants are broadening their scope of practice into all areas of patient care. This program has been designed to address the needs of the practitioner, whether novice or experienced, to explore caring for inpatient kidney patients and the kidney transplant patient. The Renal Physicians Association (RPA) in collaboration with the American Academy of Nephrology Physician Assistants has designed a program which highlights the relevant areas of clinical nephrology and provides current information that applies directly to your practice. Please join us as we collaborate to share knowledge and continue to improve the quality of care we provide our patients. This program is jointly sponsored by the Renal Physicians Association and CME Consultants.
Join colleagues from around the country this summer at RPA's annual conference for advanced nurse practitioners and physician assistants working in nephrology practices on July 23-24 in Brooklyn, NY with a pre-conference workshop on July 22.
