PROGRAMS IPNA FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS
IPNA sponsors fellowship training programs in Cape Town & Johannesburg. Applications are considered twice a year in April and October. Details are available on IPNA website www.ipna-online.org. AFPNA PROGRAMS Monthly journal club/academic meetings. These have been occurring in the Johannesburg/Gauteng region on a monthly basis with collaboration of paediatric nephrologists from Johannesburg, Pretoria and surrounding regions, both from a state and private practice point of view. These meetings have been found to be most useful and have provided a good platform for dialogue.
Outreach programmes The University of Cape Town has been doing an outreach to the Eastern Cape/Umtata region. Under the auspices of the Colleges of Medicine (Paeds), a paediatric nephrology weekend was held at the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in the Eastern Cape. This weekend started on the Wednesday morning and consisted of clinical patient review, lectures, case study discussions as well as student and registrar teaching. Lectures were well attended by disciplines outside of paediatric nephrology including general paediatrics as well as adult medicine. In addition to this numerous shared care patients were seen at the clinic. These patients were also used as teaching material for both junior students as well as more senior registrars.
