Nephrology Business Leadership
2025 marks the 10th anniversary of NBLU!
NBLU brings together a diverse group of practicing nephrologists, hospital and dialysis provider executives, and other professionals who share their insights with fellows preparing for a career in nephrology.
About The Event
This year marks our 10th anniversary of NBLU, a unique week-long program tailored to second-year nephrology fellows preparing to begin a career in nephrology.
Rotations are designed to provide nephrology fellows with an opportunity to complement the clinical skills gained through their fellowship program with learning modules focused on the economics and business aspects of private practice.
Attendees will leave the NBLU program with a stronger understanding of the business of nephrology, and how it fits into the complex and evolving healthcare landscape.
