Vicenza - Bergamo - Torino
DEPARTMENT OF NEPHROLOGY
St. Bortolo HOSPITAL, VICENZA, ITALY
Vicenza, Italy - Ente Fiera - June 19 - 22, 2002
This is a multidisciplinary course sponsored by:
The Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN)
The European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO)
The European Renal Association (ERA-EDTA)
The International Society of Hemodialysis (ISH)
The International Society of Nephrology (ISN)
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 will also be held every three years. This year the course is organized in collaboration with the departments of nephrology of Bergamo and Torino as annual meeting of the Interinstitutional Department of Renal Diseases. The course on hemodialysis technology 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 Hemodialysis Technology.
