ISN Educational Ambassadors<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

For up to four weeks, ISN Educational Ambassadors advise on clinical cases and research addressing dialysis, interventional nephrology, renal pathology, transplantation, and peritoneal dialysis<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

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.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Don\u2019t forget to pay a visit to the ISN Academy<\/a> 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.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
