The week –long program brought together a diverse faculty of nephrology professionals who shared their insight in areas such as:
The 2018 NBLU program allowed participants to learn directly from practitioners about the necessary skills to become progressive and involved leaders in nephrology
Fellows enhanced their networks, developed mentor relationships, and learned directly from practitioners about the business of nephrology and how it fits into the complex and evolving healthcare landscape.
