The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) and Home Dialysis University (HDU) have announced that their ASN HDU Home Dialysis Scholarship Program will continue in 2024. The program was launched last year to improve nephrology trainees’ knowledge, proficiency, and exposure to home dialysis therapies.
Through the partnership, ASN provided scholarships to 30 fellows to attend an in-person HDU fellows training course and participate in a virtual longitudinal case-based education series led by renowned experts in peritoneal and home hemodialysis. ASN and HDU will award 45 fellows the opportunity to participate in the program this year.
“Improving education and exposure to home dialysis among nephrology fellows will pave the way for a future kidney medicine workforce to ensure universal access to home dialysis and improve the care of people on dialysis,” said Deidra C. Crews, MD, ScM, FASN, ASN president.
Nephrology fellows have long cited a lack of education and exposure to home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis during training as a major educational gap. Nephrology fellows can apply for an ASN travel support scholarship to attend the HDU course in Chicago, Illinois, September 8-10, 2024, and participate in the next virtual longitudinal series.
