Educational Ambassadors - International Society of Nephrology

ISN Educational Ambassadors

Renal centers around the world can apply to the Educational Ambassadors (EA) Program to receive expert guidance and hands-on training to advance new initiatives, skills or services, and community-based research or screening programs.

For up to four weeks, ISN Educational Ambassadors advise on clinical cases and research addressing dialysis, interventional nephrology, renal pathology, transplantation, and peritoneal dialysis to improve clinical care as well as the confidence of professionals, including nurses and technicians, and the quality of life and survival rate of patients.

A potential long-term interaction between the host center and the ISN Educational Ambassador is encouraged to extend the mentorship and foster the possibility of further training through additional ISN Programs.

Don’t forget to pay a visit to the ISN Academy which is an interactive e-learning platform and mobile app providing equal access to the latest knowledge in nephrology. With up-to-date and interactive resources, it opens doors to a unique mix of presentations, cases, articles, webinars, guidelines and more.
