Following a joint plenary session, attendees will have a choice of professional or patient focused tracts. CEUs/CMEs will be offered for the professional sessions. Both professional and patient and care partners will present a wide variety of topics including; The Medical Evidence for Home Hemodialysis, Transitioning between Therapies, Thriving on Peritoneal Dialysis, End of Life/Palliative Care, The Future of ESRD Care, Saving your Legs—Vascular Disease, Care Partnering, Getting an Education while on Dialysis, Transplantation—Getting on Board, and much more. Patient and professional panels will offer participants the chance to hear from both sides.
Breakout sessions during lunch will provide an added opportunity to engage in small group discussions about vital topics.
Best of all, there is a reduced conference registration fee for patients and care partners. The $125 fee for patients includes $50 for the conference and $75 for the HDU banquet. If a care partner attends with a patient, the partner may attend the conference for free with the only charge being $75 for the banquet.
