Performance of Procedures by Nephrologists and Nephrology Fellows at U.S. Nephrology Training Programs

[摘要] Background and objectives: Some procedures (e.g., placement of temporary hemodialysis catheters and kidney biopsies) are required in nephrology fellowship training. Others (e.g., placement of tunneled hemodialysis catheters, ultrasonography, and hemodialysis access interventions) are not required but are performed at some centers. To assess the procedures performed by nephrologists and nephrology fellows at U.S. adult nephrology training programs and the number of procedures required for fellow competency, a survey was conducted of all such training programs.
