The Foundation Seminar in Kidney Disease and Transplantation will be delivered by combination of a self-paced learning package covering key nephrology topics followed by a one day live virtual seminar.

This seminar is targeted at pharmacists with either less than 5 years clinical experience, general medical experience who would like more exposure to foundational components of nephrology or those who may be transitioning into a specialist nephrology rotation. 
  
The self-paced learning package comprises approximately 8 hours of learning materials and will be available from Friday 8 March 2024. The live virtual component of this seminar will take place on Saturday 20 April 2024.
