Course Overview
The program includes weekly or biweekly pre-recorded mini-lectures or concept videos listed below. These pre-recorded materials will precede the live webinar case discussions that will be led by a diverse group of renal pathologists and clinical nephrologists. These sessions will be followed by practice quizzes. If you are a nephrologist or a general pathologist, in training or a junior practitioner, seeking to improve your understanding of glomerular disease and skills in renal pathology, this course is for you! We will focus on morphology, mechanisms of disease, and clinicopathologic correlations. Those that pass the midterm and final exams, and have the required attendance to recorded material and webinars, will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.
