All detailed conference information including speakers and titles can be found at: http://my.calendars.net/neph_conferences BIOPSY CONFERENCE (Weekly)
Location: UWMC, NE110K The biopsy conference is a working conference in which all transplant biopsies performed in the previous week are reviewed and discussed with members of the transplant team. Often, native kidney biopsies performed at the UWMC or HMC are also reviewed with fellows and renal attendings. Though primarily a patient management conference, interesting cases are used as a means to teaching renal pathology to fellows. Mandatory attendance by all fellows. FELLOWS CONFERENCE (Weekly)
Location: UWMC, BB1404 and
BB1602 (check conference website) Fellows’ weekly lecture series will begin in August 2007. Specific topics and lectures will be presented on a weekly basis. The purpose is to cover many of the core curriculum topics required for ACGME accreditation. These lectures typically are interactive and non-didactic. Journal Club is held the last Wednesday of the month and provides an opportunity for fellows to develop and improve their ability to conduct a critical analysis of data reported in the clinical and basic science literature. Mandatory attendance by all ACGME fellows. JOURNAL CLUB (Monthly) The purpose of the Journal Club is to provide the renal fellows with the opportunity to develop and improve their ability to conduct a critical analysis of data reported in the clinical and basic science literature. Journal Club is directed by Drs. Bryan Kestenbaum and Ashley Jefferson. Journal clubs will be conducted as follows: 1) Topics will include how to approach (a) study design, (b) methods, (c) analysis, (d) interpretation of results, and (e) limitations. The purpose of these sessions is to provide the background necessary to critically analyze the chosen literature. Manuscripts will be chosen by nephrology faculty and each renal fellow will be assigned a portion of the journal article to critique. Manuscripts selected for review will be chosen primarily for their usefulness as a tool for teaching critical analysis of the literature. Fellows will be provided with written guides for the conduct of the journal club. 2) On Monthly Wednesday Journal Club, reviews will be chosen with the emphasis being on reviewing several major past and present articles in nephrology. Specific faculty members will be invited for their expertise as it pertains to the manuscript reviewed. Manuscripts will be distributed prior to the journal club via email. Active participation during the journal club is encouraged PATHOLOGY CONFERENCE (Monthly)
Location: UWMC, EE424 Pathology Conferences will begin in October 2007. This renal pathology conference is tailored to fellows in training. Conferences are usually interactive, allowing fellows to ask questions about renal pathology in an educational setting. Mandatory attendance by all fellows. PROFESSOR ROUNDS (Weekly)
Location: HMC, Room Varies
Location: UWMC, EE424
Location: VAPSHCS, Bldg
100, 5B113 Professor Rounds are held year round. Rounds provide education involving common and challenging in-and out-patient clinical cases on general nephrology and transplantation. Mandatory attendance by all fellows. RENAL GRAND ROUNDS (Weekly)
Location: Northwest Kidney
Centers (NKC) Renal Grand Rounds are held each Friday beginning in September. Division faculty and fellows, renal pathology faculty and fellows, school of medicine faculty, and visiting professors will present lectures. Topics will cover basic science, clinical research, clinical-based discussions, renal biopsy conferences, journal club and others. These Friday teaching conferences are a major component of the Adult and Pediatric Nephrology divisional teaching programs and contain material required for program accreditation and for ongoing medical education. While some switching is permissible, these changes must be made by the individual and must be cleared with Ashley Jefferson (Director of Education) and conveyed to Suzanne Patterson (Fellowship Program Coordinator). If a conference is cancelled by the speaker, the speaker must inform arrange a substitute conference to fill the time slot. All faculty and fellows are expected to attend. NEPHROLOGY DAYS
Location: Local conference venue
in Seattle a short distance from the University of Washington campus. Lunch
and refreshment breaks are included. Nephrology Days started in 1985 as part of our regionalized medical education program for Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho (WWAMI). Neph Days are supported by the non-profit Northwest Renal Society, whose sole purpose is to plan and conduct each meeting. Approximately 180 nephrologists from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Montana and British Columbia belong to the Society, and about 75 attend each session. A major them, such as transplantation, dialysis, or hypertension, is selected with input from the membership. One or two prominent outside speakers known for their research and teaching are invited to each meeting and usually asked to speak twice: once on his/her research and one on clinical aspects in his/her area of expertise. RENAL WEEK HIGHLIGHTS
Location: Local conference
venue in Seattle. This annual conference, started in 2003, provides an overview of what you missed at the annual ASN Renal Week. This event is held each spring at a Seattle venue. Faculty will summarize, critique, and put into perspective key presentations from Renal Week. This program is perfect not only for those who couldn’t attend the ASN conference but also for those attendees who missed several key presentations. Renal Week Highlights meetings will cover these key areas of nephrology: Parenchymal Disease, Transplantation, Hypertension, ESRD, Disorders of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, and Clinical Nephrology. SCRIBNER SOCIETY
Location: Local restaurant.
This newly developed conference was initiated in 2005 to provide opportunities to meet with colleagues outside of one’s immediate practice. The mission of this society is to bring “town-and-gown” nephrologists together and to provide a unique and accessible venue. Dr. Belding Scribner, an original Division of Nephrology faculty member and the first Fellowship Program Director, believed in a very close relationship among all nephrologists. The goal is for nephrologists from around the Northwest to meet in a relaxed atmosphere and participate in a credited CME program. Approximately 70 nephrologists attend each event.
