A Renal Pathology Conference, Nephrology Journal Club and a Renal Research Conference are held monthly. Special weekly research conferences are also held by several individual laboratory research groups. A regular schedule of visiting professors is maintained, usually in conjunction with the Northwest Renal Society, which provides three all day programs of continuing medical education in nephrology each year at the university. The Division of Pediatric Nephrology is based nearby at Children's Hospital and Medical Center and includes four full-time faculty under the direction of Dr. Allison Eddy. Pediatric nephrology faculty participate actively in teaching and research activities in nephrology.
Opportunity is provided for exposure to a range of nephrologic problems in children and adolescents.
