PURPOSE OF THE COURSE: |
This course has been designed on the basis of more than 800 answers to a poll launched by the ERA-EDTA among the Nephrologists to know which may be the most desired format. Its purpose is to update the audience on the most relevant basic research methods in order to allow an informed and critical assessment of basic and translational studies published in nephrology.
Each lecture will first introduce methodology, general advantages and pitfalls in general and then use practical examples from nephrology to illustrate its potential applications. Lectures should not attempt to be comprehensive, but rather focus on most recent methods, in particular those about to enter or already in common research practice. |
Information and registration
Participation is free of charge but is open only to delegates registered in the Congress.
If you have pre-registered to the Congress, you can participate in the Courses by simply downloading the form and send it by fax to +39-0521-959242 or by email to registrations@era-edta.org within and no later than April 7, 2008.
If you haven’t pre-registered, you can do it online at www.eraedta2008.org/registrations2008.htm within and no later than April 7, 2008. After April 7, 2008 you will have the possibility of registering onsite, first for the Congress and thus after also for the Course, directly on May 10 starting at 8.00. Admission to the Course is limited to the seating capacity of the lecture hall, thus "first come first served" basis will be applied.
Course participants will be awarded UEMS credits (convertible in AMA credits).
A coloured sticker will be attached to your badge at the entrance of the hall of the CME Course chosen and will entitle entrance to that course only.
