Call for expressions of interest for
Education Working Group, Members
The ISN welcomes expressions of interest for the position of members of the ISN Education Working Group. The new members will start their 2-year term at the World Congress of Nephrology 2027 (WCN’27).
About the ISN Education Working Group
The ISN provides online education in various formats. The ISN Academy is a dedicated educational portal that delivers curriculum and other on-demand educational tools. The ISN webinar program delivers up to 70 webinars annually, collaborating with 25-30 other related organizations and ISN internal groups like regional boards. Also offered is the six-year-running Global Kidney Care podcast series that has covered a myriad of scientific and other topics of interest in nephrology.
The Education Working Group (EWG) brings together nephrologists and health care professionals around the world to oversee and support the development of these online educational resources in nephrology. The EWG members actively submit content topics and ideas and make the final decisions on the topics suggested from other internal and external groups.
The role
Education Working Group members are expected to participate in several calls of the group each year. Members of the Education Working Group participate in overseeing the development and implementation of the ISN online educational strategy and seek/foster collaborations with other societies in the development of ISN’s online educational offerings. In addition, they support the development and at times directly develop online educational content, including curriculum, webinars, and podcasts as well as consult with ISN staff in the design, building and maintenance of the ISN Academy.
