Dedicated Network for Young Nephrologists
The ISN YNC has recently launched a platform for ISN members under 45, the Young Nephrologists Network (YNN). The platform is a dedicated space where those seeking to contribute to ISN initiatives can connect and advance together. Log in to your ISN membership account here to join the YNN.
A Young Nephrologists Network Committee has been formed to lead the initiative.
More ISN YNC Networking and Training Opportunities
Two additional subcommittees have been created for ISN YNC members:
World Congress of Nephrology Subcommittee: to work on several YNC activities under development for WCN’23.
Capacity Building Subcommittee: initiated to generate educational opportunities for young nephrologists and work closely alongside the ISN mentorship and clinical research committees.
