The 12th Budapest Nephrology School

Dear Colleague,

It is my pleasure to cordially invite you to the XIIth Budapest Nephrology School organized by the Hungarian Kidney Foundation at the Semmelweis Univesity, under the auspices of ISN and ERA-EDTA.

During this one-week program, our distinguished international speakers provide updates in nephrology, hypertension, dialysis and transplantation. In fact, we cover the field from molecule to bedside, from most recent scientific advances to the current clinical approaches. You will also enjoy the close interaction with the faculty in small group workshops. You are encouraged to bring your own cases, raise questions and consult your colleagues. You can also tour our quality dialysis or research units.

We have acted, based on experience from previous successful years to keep our standards high, invite internationally known speakers, provide the most optimum environment, encourage interaction and at the same time reduce the participation fee to the minimum. Our success is reflected by the increasing number of participants who have repeatedly attended the school. You will also enjoy our exciting social programs.

The 11th Budapest Nephrology School was accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) for 28 CME credits. We are expecting to have similar evaluation for the 12th School as well.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Budapest.

Sincerely yours,

László Rosivall , M.D., PhD., DMSc.,
