More than 100 faculty, internal medicine residents, nephrologists and nephrology fellows came together April 6-8 for the ninth annual KIDNEYcon.

Sponsored by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine Department of Internal Medicine’s Division of Nephrology, the event consisted of lectures, a reception, scientific and clinical sessions, and workshops. The event was held on the UAMS campus and at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Little Rock.

“We have a lot of junior nephrologists, medical students, fellows, residents and faculty who attend, along with more senior nephrologists,” said John Arthur, M.D., Ph.D., professor and director of the Division of Nephrology. “They get to do things here they can’t do anywhere else.”
