Nearly 850 million people worldwide are affected by CKD with up to an estimated 97% of these patients remaining undiagnosed. With much of the identification burden falling to primary care physicians, you need to be aware of all known risk factors and the latest diagnostic guidelines to proactively screen for CKD, identify patients at risk, and accurately diagnose and manage this progressive condition.
This independent educational program will provide decision-making support and educational tools to guide practitioners in a real-world clinical context. Patient profiles are presented as simulated scenarios to assist your decision-making in a risk-free environment, enhanced with expert-led discussion and commentary.
Program Director, Kevin Fernando is joined by David Wheeler to take you through each scenario, based upon realistic but complicated cases you may see in your clinic. The education is also available in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and German.
The infographics and introductory video are also available in Japanese and Chinese.
A series of four simulation-based activities provide a practical and safe setting to test your diagnostic capabilities and management decisions in realistic CKD scenarios you may face in your daily practice. Each video scenario looks at different complexities you are likely to face in the management of CKD, considering common comorbidities and patient preferences.
The scenarios are supplemented by a downloadable infographic with the key signs and pitfalls to look out for in patient consultations to ensure early intervention and effective management of CKD.
This independent medical education program will expand upon our current eLearning on the screening, diagnosis, and initial management of chronic kidney disease in primary care.
The content has been developed using feedback from our audience and expert faculty to represent the educational needs most required by the primary care community.
The program is intended for global primary care practitioners. All content will be available in French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese. The infographic and video will be translated into Japanese and simplified Chinese.
