Welcome To
Welcome To Fellowship in Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) & Blood Purifications
The Program Provides :
Cutting – edge knowledge & evidence Based clinical training through two fully online modules—CritDial Module and NephroDial Module—each lasting 16–18 weeks and accredited with 80 master’s-level credits upon completion the whole fellowship
Delivered via an advanced interactive e-learning platform, the course integrates keynote lectures, dynamic discussion boards, and journal clubs, ensuring a high-quality learning and teaching experience
The fellowship is designed to strengthen expertise in Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) by combining reflective learning with practical clinical exposure. It is led by experienced clinicians and health professionals from internationally recognized nephrology and dialysis centers, enabling candidates to benefit from diverse perspectives and practices.
By the end of the fellowship,
participants will be able to:
Understand the principles, prescriptions, and adequacy targets of HD, HDF, PD, CRRT, and TPE.
Recognize and manage acute and chronic complications of dialysis.
Optimize vascular and PD access and implement infection-control measures.
Tailor dialysis care to special populations such as pregnant, diabetic, and high-risk cardiovascular patients.
Integrate modern tools (POCUS, VExUS, advanced monitoring) into clinical decision-making
Provide leadership in dialysis units by applying evidence-based, multidisciplinary car
Program Structure
The module consists of 18 weeks, Include 2 parts:
Part 1 — Foundations
