Description & Objectives: Renal Biopsy in Medical Diseases of the Kidneys is an intensive 3 1/2 day course designed for pathologists, nephrologists, internists and other physicians interested in both a systematic review and an update on advances in diagnostic problems in medical renal diseases.

The course should be of special interest to physicians who are preparing for their specialty Board Examinations in Pathology and Clinical Nephrology.

At the conclusion of the course, participants should be able to better understand the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of the major parenchymal diseases of the kidney, with emphasis on clinical-pathologic correlations and the role of renal biopsy.

The format includes lectures, question-and-answer sessions and the study of case problems. A limited/optional Renal Pathology Laboratory exercise is available on Saturday afternoon after the conclusion of the formal lectures. 
Accreditation: The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
