Academic Achievements and Community Involvement

    Member, Educational Committee

    Advisory BoardsNational Kidney Foundation
    Due to my interest in E-learning in medical education, I was invited by the National Kidney foundation to serve on their education committee and help develop and expand innovative methods in nephrology education to reach a wider national and international audience with the ultimate goal of increasing academic interest in nephrology. NKF education committee is a group of academic nephrologists that advise NKF on educational outreach, resource development and promotion of evidence-based practice. As a member, I am currently collaborating with the NKF to develop an E-curriculum in CRRT that utilizes online, animated and interactive teaching module. This curriculum will be completed and launched in 2021. It will be useful to nephrologists, intensivists, medicine house-staff and critical care nurses. In collaboration with the NKF, we hope to conduct a study to assess the impact of this curriculum nationally (and possibly internationally).
