  • Connect with colleagues and network with renal professionals from Canada and the United States
NEW THIS YEAR!
For the first time, Registered Dietitians and Registered Nurses are invited to attend and participate in WSPN. This meeting will be an excellent opportunity to meet and network with other RD’s and RN's working in the area of Pediatric Nephrology.

Through collaboration with peers, each RD attending will gain hands-on experience in the development of evidence-based, practice-ready nutrition management guidelines for nephrology-specific conditions (other than dialysis) typically seen in the clinical setting.
  • Travel grants to attend the conference may be available to participating RD’s and RN’s (sponsorship dependant)
Further information, including a draft program and how to register to attend, will be available here soon.

Save the date: June 16-17, 2012
