The NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION’S SPRING CLINICAL MEETINGS is an opportunity to learn about the latest best practices in all aspects of nephrology from experts around the country. The four-day meeting is a chance for doctors, nurses, dietitians, social workers, pharmacists, transplant coordinators and technicians to interact and discuss current issues. Learn more
The 2020 Spring Clinical Meetings will not be held live in New Orleans.
Since the Spring Clinical Meetings have been converted to a live online event, ALL general sessions and “lunch” workshops will be available live through Zoom Webinars. The pre-conference workshops will also be recorded (but not live streamed) and available for viewing. The sessions will be posted on NKF’s Professional Educational Resource Center (PERC) through April 29 so if you were unable to watch at a session’s originally scheduled time or want to watch again, you can watch at your convenience. The pre-conference workshops will also be recorded (but not live streamed) and available for viewing. However only registered “attendees” will be awarded CEU credits for watching and completing activities.
