TESTIMONIALS
“I found it very valuable to be part of an International Society - both for a better standing in my renal community, but also to gain the benefits of sharing with Nephrologists all over the world - information , assistance, friendship and mentorship.” --Dr Julian Jacobs “The ISN meetings and CMEs have brought wonderful, highly respected nephrologists to the doorstep of many nephrologists around the world. It is often difficult for nephrologists to participate in the international meetings, but when a meeting is held locally, ISN brings these world respected colleagues into our countries.”-- Dr. Ivor Katz, “The main reason to become a member was to be in contact with all the rest of the nephrological world, especially taking account that I was going to settle in one of the poorest and underdeveloped countries in Latin America.” – Dr. Ricardo Silvestre Arze “I am especially fond of the Nature Clinical Practice Nephrology journal because it addresses issues in a relatively brief and understandable way, and its emphasis on clinical issues and timely reviews is particularly useful for the practicing physician.” -- Dr. Peter Lewy “Since joining in 1992, ISN has become my scientific home, providing me with resources to help advance nephrology in my country.” –Dr. Raúl Plata-Cornejo “In my opinion ISN is the greatest organization of nephrology in the world. By promoting the growth and spread of scientific knowledge and clinical practice of nephrology, ISN stands on the frontline of the field and has attracted scientists and clinicians dedicated to nephrology. I am proud of being one of them.” – Dr. Yan Liu
