Translational Nephrology Module
The blended e-learning continuing education Translational Nephrology course provides extensive insights into the basics of nephrology. It is organized by the Health Sciences eTraining Foundation (HSeT) in collaboration with numerous specialists of the NCCR Kidney.CH and consists of six separate four-months modules (three per year) focusing on different areas of kidney function in health and disease. Successful participation in a module is rewarded with 8 CE credits recognized by the SGN/SSN. Successful participation in the whole cycle entitles to a CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) of the University of Bern (see website http://www.nephrologie.unibe.ch).

High quality research in renal physiology has a long tradition in Switzerland. The continuous education programme Translational Nephrology provides extensive insights into the basics of nephrology by studying the physiological and pathophysiological bases of kidney function in health and disease.
Starting with clinical cases and key articles illustrating the translational aspects, the topic is further explored by blended-learning including face-to-face sessions with module leaders and tutors, access to annotated online-resources, self-guided e-learning, presentations and assessments.
