OVERVIEW
Nephrology Update is organized by Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education and will be held during May 17 - 19, 2018 at The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is nephrologists, cardiologists, intensive care specialists, internists, and other practicing health care professionals who desire an update on pathogenesis and treatment of kidney diseases, hypertension, fluid and electrolyte disorders, acid-base disturbances, end stage renal failure, critical care nephrology, transplant, and related conditions. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 18.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
This activity will provide a general review and update of topics pertinent to clinical practices in nephrology. Every year emerging scientific data alter the understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for patients with kidney disease, creating gaps in practitioners’ knowledge, competencies, and performance, resulting in less than optimal patient outcomes. Nephrology Update features experts who provide a review of the most up-to-date data and analyze it for implications in clinical practice.
