Who: Kidney Academy is a global multidisciplinary clinical community of Physicians (Nephrology, Interventional Nephrology, Interventional Radiology, Transplant Surgery, Vascular Surgery, General Surgery), Nurses, Technologists, and other clinical staff who are dedicated to ESRD patients requiring lifesaving access for dialysis.

​

How: Kidney Academy bridges the knowledge and understanding gaps that exist between medical specialties, global regions, access team roles and positions, and between the clinical experts advanced in their careers and the younger trainees emerging as the next leaders. We welcome diversity and a growth mindset for the shared goal of improved patient care. Kidney Academy promotes education and collaboration of the multidisciplinary team via comprehensive content. This newly designed ESRD Compendium is designed as a dynamic, living RRT resource. Through linking to figures, documents, videos, and references, readers can access guidelines, glossaries, data sources, and training materials in real time. The text is reviewed by international contributors and updated as new evidence emerge.

​

Why: Kidney Academy’s vision is an educated clinical care team who communicates and makes decisions in a coordinated and open fashion centered around the best interest of individual patients.
