Health Disparities in Nephrology
(Program and Faculty are subject to change)
Sunday, November 04, 2007
1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
Location: Room 104
Health disparities are differences in health-related outcomes by race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other relevant subgroups. Striking disparities occur in the onset and progression of CKD, in many dialysis-related outcomes, and in access to kidney transplantation. This symposium will describe disparities relevant to nephrology, discuss the mechanisms for the disparities, and review interventions to reduce or eliminate disparities.
