Home Dialysis Academy of Excellence (HDAE) is an educational, immersion program created through a collaboration between Stanford Medicine, the University of California Davis Health and Satellite Healthcare. HDAE is designed to provide Nephrology Fellows with a wide and deep understanding of the value and application of home dialysis as a therapeutic option to promote health and wellness for people with end stage kidney disease.
Why?
Compared to in-center dialysis, home dialysis therapies are associated with increased patient longevity, shorter recovery times post treatment, a higher quality of life and greater convenience for people whose health and home environments can support it. Yet on average, currently only 13% of dialysis patients choose to receive their dialysis at home.*
Home Dialysis Academy of Excellence aims to educate Nephrology Fellows about the benefits home therapies provide and empower them to shift to a “Home First” mindset.
Who?
Nephrology Fellows in fellowship programs in the United States and all of its territories are the intended audience of HDAE.
