In addition to the Nephrology Academic Half Day sessions, we also have a Summer Education Series, which is held weekly for 2-months to orient our Trainees to the basic principles of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and plasmapheresis. During the first session, we also review the goals and objectives of the overall program, as well as of individual rotations. The goals and objectives are provided to the residents in the CanMeds Format.
