Through this program, AstraZeneca and Indian Society of Nephrology aim to help clinicians and healthcare practitioners to provide holistic kidney care to their patients
AstraZeneca India has announced the launch of their Chronic Kidney Disease Academy, in collaboration with the Indian Society of Nephrology (ISN). This academy will offer module-based learning for clinicians to enable them to provide better kidney care to their patients. The training program aims to cover the pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis, complications and management of CKD. The announcement comes after the partnership agreed between both the organisations earlier this year on World Kidney Day, to create public awareness about kidney care and related health disorders, build education at primary care physician level on early diagnosis, prompt management and aid nationwide screening for at risk patients and general public to promote timely detection and holistic management.
Through this program, AstraZeneca and Indian Society of Nephrology aim to help clinicians and healthcare practitioners to provide holistic kidney care to their patients.
The certificate training course on CKD latest updates will train about 1000 primary care physicians through three interactive modules. The modules would chronologically focus on the burden and risk factors of CKD, followed by the holistic guidelines for the management of CKD and lastly on newer therapies for better CKD management with a focus on SGLT2i inhibitors.
These modules will be delivered by 30 nephrologists from across the country, who will serve as faculty for this program. The faculty will be available both online and offline for mentoring young nephrologists and aiding scientific support. The modules will be 1 hour each and will be delivered by the faculty members in 3-4 months duration over virtual mode. On completing the three modules, a certificate of participation that will be endorsed by AstraZeneca and ISN, will be provided to all participants.
