Training Program Directors

This website is devoted to nephrology training program directors. The ASN Workforce and Training Committee works with all nephrology TPDs to meet their educational objectives, including (1) defining training requirements for nephrologists; (2) monitoring and extending interest in new funding opportunities for trainees; (3) increasing interest in nephrology as a career; and (4) promoting improvements in the quality of training programs in general. The material contained on this site represents the combined efforts of many TPDs, ASN staff and other ASN members. Much of the content was developed as a result of the ASN TPD Retreats and the various groups of TPDs focusing on specific TPD-related issues.

Overview of Mentoring Resources

The mentor-mentee relationship is a vital part of the medical education experience.
Mentors provide critical professional guidance to early-career colleagues, while mentees infuse labs and clinics with fresh new ideas and diversity.
To help both mentors and mentees in the field of nephrology make the most of this relationship, ASN has developed an extensive set of educational resources. Presented in brief animations, podcasts and other media, we cover how to communicate effectively, find the right mentor or mentee, manage challenges, assess a mentee's understanding, and much more.
