The ISN-ANIO Clinical Nephropathology Certificate Program

Through a partnership, the ISN supports the online ISN-ANIO Clinical Nephropathology Certificate Program.

The Clinical Nephropathology Certificate (CNC) Program consists of year-long, online educational programs in basic and advanced nephropathology courses.

Launched in 2013 and 2019 respectively, the successful CNC Basic and Advanced Courses feature live webinars, pre-recorded lectures available on-demand, quizzes, and exams.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion spacing=”5″ gap=”5″ c_position=”right” active_section=”1″ collapsible_all=”true” el_class=”accordion-isn”][vc_tta_section title=”Target Audience” tab_id=”Target-Audience”][vc_column_text]Pathologists and nephrologists worldwide seeking training in the principles and practice of nephropathology are encouraged to apply. However, applicants from low and middle-income countries are given priority.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Program Objectives” tab_id=”program-objectives”][vc_column_text]

  • Identify the key principles in the preparation of kidney biopsy material – preparation of sections for LM, IF, and EM. Review the different staining techniques and their purpose.
  • Apply knowledge of different kidney injury patterns observed in histopathologic specimens in classifying syndromes of nephron injury and integrating this knowledge into the management of clinical presentations of kidney diseases.
  • Use newly gained knowledge of specific kidney syndromes or diseases (e.g., acute kidney injury, autoimmune kidney disease, diabetic kidney disease, genetic kidney disease, hepatorenal syndrome, pregnancy-related kidney disease) to infer pathophysiologic mechanisms and apply this to the management of patients.
  • Use updated knowledge of kidney pathology for better patient management.
