Medscape Education and KDIGO Nephrology Collaboration Accelerates Improvements to Patient Care
May 23, 2024 | CME, Education, Nephrology, kidney, medical education
Ahead of the 61st European Renal Association (ERA) Congress, Medscape Education and KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) announce an educational collaboration through a series of webinars to improve anemia-related outcomes in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease on dialysis. Activities will be hosted on www.medscape.org/nephrology and available for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, starting Summer 2024.
The collaboration combines Medscape’s 29 years of experience in nephrology, adult-learning design, and membership of over 13 million healthcare professionals worldwide, with KDIGO’s deep knowledge and expertise in nephrology guideline development.
KDIGO is a global nonprofit organization that develops and implements evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in kidney disease. KDIGO guidelines translate scientific advances into useful and practical clinical practice recommendations. KDIGO guidelines will be available as downloadable resources with the activities to streamline access for Medscape learners.
“Our collaboration with Medscape Education will build on each of our strengths in a way that benefits the nephrology community and patients around the world,” said Danielle Green, KDIGO’s Chief Executive Officer.
“With Medscape’s global platform and reach and KDIGO’s clinically influential guidelines, we are positioned to provide our members with relevant educational resources, ensuring they are equipped with the latest advancements and best practices in kidney care,” said Haleh Kadkhoda, MS, Medscape’s Vice President of Strategic Partnerships.
Medscape Education will also present four posters at the 61st ERA Congress, showcasing the data and impact of Medscape nephrology education on clinicians’ knowledge, competency, and confidence.
