“…However, there is a need for a focused training of interested physicians to master the specialized aspects of these exceedingly common clinical scenarios, and optimize the care of such patients. A cardionephrologyfocused training will add value to nephrology subspecialties, potentially enhancing its attraction a significant subset of trainees [8].…”

The field of cardiorenal medicine is vast, rapidly expanding, and complex. Conventional nephrology training programs provide the fellows with the necessary core knowledge to provide general care for patients with renal and cardiovascular diseases. However, there is a need for focused training of interested physicians to master the specialized aspects of these exceedingly common clinical scenarios and optimize the care of such patients. A cardionephrology-focused training can add value to the nephrology subspecialty and potentially increase its attractiveness for a significant subset of trainees. Herein, we provide a proposal for the framework and content of such an educational activity. Creation of an international multidisciplinary workgroup to formulate a comprehensive curriculum for a dedicated cardionephrology track would be the first step. A variety of practical aspects such as implementation methods, the identification of the required skills, and the development of educational assessment tools are discussed. While this proposal primarily focuses on the integration of the curriculum into the training of nephrology fellows, it would also be appropriate (albeit in a modified and customized format) for a wider range of trainees, including cardiology fellows.

“…This is becoming increasingly relevant with the growing use of mechanical devices such as left ventricular assist devices and novel cardiorenal therapies. [17] Rangaswami et al advocated the formation of hybrid "cardionephrology" teams for the treatment of cardiorenal syndromes. [17] One possibility is a dedicated cardionephrology training track for fellows, involving nephrology/cardiology fellow cross rotations.…”

“…We have seen a remarkable "call to arms" by the nephrology community over the last decade in response to a declining interest in nephrology among students and residents (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). The robust responses have led to ambitious programs-from changes in medical education and value-based nephrology care to research and national prize competitions.…”

New treatments, new understanding, and new approaches to translational research are transforming the outlook for patients with kidney diseases. A number of new initiatives dedicated to advancing the field of nephrology—from value-based care to prize competitions—will further improve outcomes of patients with kidney disease. Because of individual nephrologists and kidney organizations in the United States, such as the American Society of Nephrology, the National Kidney Foundation, and the Renal Physicians Association, and international nephrologists and organizations, such as the International Society of Nephrology and the European Renal Association–European Dialysis and Transplant Association, we are beginning to gain traction to invigorate nephrology to meet the pandemic of global kidney diseases. Recognizing the timeliness of this opportunity, the American Society of Nephrology convened a Division Chief Retreat in Dallas, Texas, in June 2019 to address five key issues: (1) asserting the value of nephrology to the health system; (2) productivity and compensation; (3) financial support of faculty’s and divisions’ educational efforts; (4) faculty recruitment, retention, diversity, and inclusion; and (5) ensuring that fellowship programs prepare trainees to provide high-value nephrology care and enhance attraction of trainees to nephrology. Herein, we highlight the outcomes of these discussions and recommendations to the American Society of Nephrology.
