Continuing Medical Education Presents: 2013 NEPHROLOGY UPDATE: Journey through the Stages of CKD for the Primary Care Team In Cooperation with the National Kidney Foundation Friday, March 22, 2013 Ambassador Center 7794 Peach Street Erie, PA Course Director

Join your colleagues and gain the latest updates and practice guidelines in kidney care! Didactic presentations will be combined with panel sessions to best meet individual learning gaps. Electronic handouts will be made available to conference attendees.
