The committee has the goal of participating in and facilitating CME activities where renal pathology elements are sought. In addition, they may organize renal pathology courses or master classes, and implement those depending upon available financial support. They continue their efforts to ensure that renal pathology is practiced and supported in renal sister centers, as well as searching for support of the Centers of Excellence in Renal Pathology. Lastly, they also aim to encourage renal pathology applicants for the ISN Fellowship Program.
