Teaching Courses Impact

IPNA’s programs, including IPNA Teaching Courses, target medical professionals who treat children with kidney disease in developing countries and the hard to reach areas of the world. The Teaching Course Program has been carefully crafted to urge the dissemination of information. It relies on the medical multiplier effect—similar to a train the trainer model—to impact as many children as possible.

• In 2018 alone, nearly 30 IPNA Teaching Courses have been held or are scheduled.
• Since 2014, more than 100 IPNA Teaching Courses have been held.
• More than 5,000 pediatric nephrologists, pediatricians, trainees, nurses and other health professionals attended.
• IPNA Teaching Courses were held in approximately 50 different countries around the world.
• Diagnosis and treatment improved for thousands of children with kidney disease.

Give Hope Today

With early diagnosis and treatment, it’s possible to slow or stop the progression of kidney disease. IPNA is making a positive impact educating and training physicians how to diagnose and treat kidney disease. However, we need to expand our Teaching Course program, so more children can be diagnosed and treated.

Please join IPNA as we take the next step to build a sustainable program to support education and training for treatment and care for children with kidney disease. Your contribution will allow IPNA to make an even greater impact on the lives of those affected.
