ISN Education
We are proud to present ISN Education. As part of the society’s mission, we want to encourage interaction and sharing among ISN members, around nephrology themes of interest. In ISN Education you will find:
Education by Topic: a comprehensive database of articles, cases, guidelines, presentations, images.
Web Directory: a directory of selected nephrology resources available on the Internet, continuously evolving.
…and much more! We will be developing ISN Education with new content from ISN meetings (Forefronts, Nexus and WCN), a Histopathology image bank, Interventional Nephrology resources, and new features such as an Ask the Experts module that will allow you to ask a question of ISN experts across our various Committees.
Hopefully much more will follow thanks to your input and contributions! We hope that this is of value to you and that it provides not only an excellent resource for professional growth, but also an effective channel to access experts and exchange your experiences with fellow ISN members. We would value your feedback about ways to enhance and improve ISN Education.
If you have questions, comments or suggestions, please contact us via our feedback form.
