Dear Colleagues,

Join us for Comprehensive Updates in Nephrology 2025, a premier Continuing Medical Education activity designed to keep you at the forefront of nephrology care. Founded by Dr. Burton Rose, creator of UpToDate, this course will address the most important updates and advances in diagnosing and treating kidney diseases. With an emphasis on high-value learning and current best practices, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to deliver exceptional patient care. Learn from renowned experts, rising stars, and leading clinical faculty from Harvard Medical School. Together, we will explore essential nephrology principles, introduce new concepts, and review the latest diagnostic and therapeutic options, providing specific recommendations for optimal care.

If you provide care for people with renal disease, this course will prove invaluable. We hope you will join us in March.
