Dialysis Educational Curriculums
This online curriculum delivers a structured, interactive overview of key dialysis modalities — In-Center Hemodialysis, Home Therapies, and Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy. Learners will progress through foundational principles, technical workflows, and patient-centered strategies, reinforcing clinical decision-making and procedural confidence. Each section is organized with targeted goals with specific objectives to ensure measurable competency and safe practice.
In-Center Hemodialysis (ICHD)
Understand the core physiological and technical principles of dialysis, ability to prescribe appropriate scripts in different settings, complications and co-morbidities, and ability to manage dialysis units with leadership skills. By the end of the curriculum, learners will thrive in any dialysis setting with tools to manage at all levels.
Home Therapies (PD and HHD)
Apply knowledge from ICHD to the home environment. Appreciate the similarities and differences. Evaluate patient’s and environment for successful home therapies. Master the concepts of physiologic principles, home prescription, and trouble shooting complications for thriving patients.
Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy (CKRT)
Master the intricacies of CKRT and with understanding the indications, modalities, and overall clinical impact. Optimize fluid, electrolyte, and acid–base balance Clinicians will tailor CKRT prescriptions to hemodynamic status and metabolic derangements. Develop skills in CKRT setup and machine management understanding the circuits, dosage and ultrafiltration parameters, manage anticoagulation protocols, and recognizing and resolving access or filter clotting issues with responding to machine alarms promptly. Hands-on proficiency ensures uninterrupted, safe therapy delivery in the ICU.
