I write to you on behalf of the International Society of Nephrology's Programs leaders: we would like to share a few important opportunities with your members.
As you now, ISN is a unique medical society offering a broad range of education, training and research activities for nephrology professionals.
Each ISN Program, wherever you are from, allows you to connect with nephrologists worldwide, get the training you need and learn new skills, teach and experience first hand the challenges of practicing kidney care in different settings. We believe that the ISN Programs are an invaluable opportunity for your members.
Please note that ISN is very proud to partner with the Asia Pacific Society of Nephrology. This partnership brings additional co-funded opportunities for programs in the Asian Pacific area.
This year, our program application procedures have been migrated to an online application system. Therefore, ISN will only accept applications through our new system. This is a much easier way to apply for ISN support.
Within the context of the 0 by 25 initiative, ISN Programs particularly welcome applications focused on detecting and treating Acute Kidney Injury.
We thank you very much in advance for your kind support!
Physicians from emerging countries get hands-on training in a developed renal center. Returning home, they share what they have learned, improve local care and start more ISN Programs.
This program funds clinical research projects addressing local needs for acute and chronic kidney disease treatments in emerging countries.
ISN experts visit developing renal centers for one to four weeks to provide specific hands-on training or help develop new services, community-based research or screening programs.
The Continuing Medical Education Program offers essential teaching and training to developing medical communities. Expert speakers from both sides of the world share their knowledge and experience in clinical care and research.
Renal centers in emerging countries partner with centers of excellence in the developing world. With educational support and guidance, the emerging centers become self-sufficient offering better care for patients. ISN and The Transplantation Society have also developed the Sister Transplant Centre Program to link transplantation centers.
