Call for expressions of interest/nominations for
ISN Interventional Nephrology Working Group Members
The ISN welcomes expressions of interest/nominations for the positions of members of the ISN Interventional Nephrology Working Group. The members will start at the World Congress of Nephrology 2026 (WCN’26).
About the ISN Interventional Nephrology Working Group
The purpose of the Interventional Nephrology Working Group is to bring together like-minded interventional nephrologists, trainees and health care professionals in the field of interventional nephrology from around the world, with a particular focus on developing interventional nephrology resources and practices throughout the world.
The ISN and the Interventional Nephrology Working Group share the goal of advancing nephrology in developing countries in general and in LMIC in particular. The primary means of working towards this goal is the ISN Interventional Nephrology Scholarship Program. The Interventional Nephrology Working Group designates Interventional Nephrology Training Centers (INTCs) that offer high-quality training, then each year selects Interventional Nephrology Scholars from low, lower-middle, and upper-middle income countries to take part in training at these INTCs.
The Working Group may be asked to guide the ISN headquarters in raising funds specifically dedicated to advancing interventional nephrology expertise worldwide.
The role
The main role of Interventional Nephrology Working Group members is to review applications for the ISN Interventional Nephrology Scholarship Program and provide feedback to applicants once per year. Members are also expected to take part in other reviews as well on occasion, such as selecting new Interventional Nephrology Training Centers to take part in the scholarship program.
Interventional Nephrology Working Group members also take part in discussions to expand and improve the Interventional Nephrology Scholarship Program as needed, and to find other ways to build interventional nephrology capacity in low resource countries and around the world.
