Caring for people with chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not easy. Members of the health care team, including pharmacists, physicians, and registered dietitians, must communicate complex messages, often in a short amount of time. NIDDK has developed educational resources to enhance knowledge and skills around caring for people with these conditions.
    

Non-Accredited Courses
**Kidney Disease Education Lesson Builder**
This resource helps educators create and implement lesson plans for counseling patients with CKD about managing their disease and preparing for renal replacement therapy (RRT). These six lesson plans meet the needs of qualified providers seeking to deliver the Kidney Disease Education (KDE) Services benefit, as defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
**Glomerular Disease Primer**
The NIDDK Kidney Disease Section has developed a Glomerular Disease Primer that presents kidney anatomy, physiology, and histology and several major glomerular diseases.
