Program Description

PD (Peritoneal Dialysis) University for Interventionalists provides a two-step approach to training Interventional Nephrologists and Interventional Radiologists to place catheters for peritoneal dialysis using image guided techniques. The first step is a series of comprehensive lectures covering all aspects of creating and maintaining PD access. The second step is Hands on Training Course with stations designed to provide the interventionalist with a comprehensive overview of placing PD catheters. The first step is required to advance to the Hands on Training portion.

For the Didactic portion, we currently have two offerings, the Virtual Course and the Webinar. The Virtual Course is provided on-demand and the Webinar offers an interactive Q&A session immediately following each pre-recorded lecture. The lecture topics are organized in a logical fashion, one subject building upon the previous, and therefore we suggest that they be viewed in the prescribed sequence.
