Maximize workforce potential in your community: insights from ISN ELP cohort 3

Featured in the March edition of Kidney International Reports®, the ISN Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) cohort 3 article, “Expanding kidney care: How non-physician health workers can address the global CKD crisis,” explores how non-physician healthcare professionals can help strengthen chronic kidney disease detection, referral, and care beyond specialist settings.

At WCN’26, cohort 3 members will take this conversation further through examples from India, Fiji, Nigeria, and beyond, highlighting how targeted education, workforce models, and community-based approaches can help address growing gaps in kidney care.
