Harvard Intensive Review of Nephrology 2023

Nephrology is a complex and rapidly evolving field, with major updates in kidney
disease diagnosis, genetic testing, point-of-care ultrasound, SGLT2 inhibitor use,
transplantation, dialysis access, immunology, glomerular disease, acid-base disorders,
electrolyte management, hypertension, and end-stage renal disease.

This course provides accelerated learning for clinicians who need a broad and
practical nephrology update, as well as physicians preparing to certify or recertify
for the Nephrology ABIM board examination.

Key Highlights

• Comprehensive clinical nephrology update and board review
• Includes 91 recorded MP4 videos and 149 downloadable PDF files
• More than 70 lectures, case discussions, board preparation sessions, and supplementary lectures
• Covers all major areas of nephrology, from electrolytes and acid-base to transplantation and ESRD
• Includes daily board review questions, board preparation sessions, and a comprehensive study approach
• Useful for nephrologists, internists, hospitalists, residents, fellows, NPs, PAs, and physicians preparing for nephrology boards

genetic kidney disease, renal syndromes, and evidence-based treatment strategies.
Hypertension, ESRD & Dialysis
Hypertension, vascular disease, end-stage renal disease, dialysis access,
physical exam of dialysis access, dialysis complications, and long-term care.
Transplant & Special Topics
Kidney transplantation, immunology, cancer and the kidney, pregnancy and renal
disease, point-of-care renal ultrasound, cryptonephrology, and clinical controversies.
