The Vicenza International Courses are well renewed scientific
events held in the city of Andrea Palladio. Starting in 1982, international courses on peritoneal dialysis have been held every three years featuring an outstanding faculty and gathering participants from numerous countries. Starting in 1998, the theme of critical care nephrology has also been covered every three years, leading to the most comprehensive review in the field of intensive care nephrology. The third theme of the Vicenza courses is hemodialysis technology. This course is also held every three years. In 2003 the Eighth International Course on peritoneal Dialysis will be organized. The course on Peritoneal Dialysis is made in strict collaboration with the industry of the field. A series of lectures and panel discussions will be held during the days of the course. Several of the most actual and interesting issues in the field will be debated by world leading experts. The growing interest for training courses and the need for conveying the maximal amount of resources into the educational task of the event convinced us to publish the proceedings of the course but at the same time to minimize the social program and the scientific exhibition. We hope that a large number of delegates will join this important event transforming it into a classic appointment for the experts and physicians wishing to receive an updated information in Peritoneal Dialysis.
