CNTN annual research symposium highlights progress and future directions
The Canadian Nephrology Trials Network (CNTN) held its annual research symposium May 6 in Québec City during the Canadian Society of Nephrology AGM pre-course. The hybrid meeting brought together researchers, clinicians, trainees, and patient partners from across Canada to share updates on clinical trials and engage in discussions on current and future collaborative work within the network.
The symposium also provided an important opportunity for the CNTN community to connect in person, exchange ideas, and strengthen ongoing collaboration across the country.
The recording is now available for those who were unable to attend or would like to revisit the session.
Help shape the future sustainability of CNTN
Attendees at the CNTN Research Symposium took part in a group discussion focused on the future direction and long-term sustainability of the network. To help broaden this conversation, we are inviting the wider CNTN community to share your perspectives through a short survey.
Feedback will help inform priorities related to programming, collaboration opportunities, member supports, and future sustainability planning across the network.
