Joint Miami Pediatric Nephrology Seminar

Joint Miami Pediatric Nephrology Seminar is organized by University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Division of Continuing Medical Education and will be held from Mar 06 - 08, 2026 at Hyatt Regency Miami, Miami, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
The conference aims to fill in the knowledge gaps in the latest concepts in the understanding of molecular, genetic and other pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease and facilitate an improvement in the pediatric nephrologist’s and other affiliated practitioner’s clinical and research practice.
