"Let's talk about kidney stones" : Online Academy 2023-2024

Based on the present state of the art, the international guidelines prescribe two management steps to reduce kidney stone recurrence. Both steps also require specialized educational and specific clinical training for medical doctors and nurses. Both steps are rather complex and require extensive time, training, and human resources, which is in high contrast with the recent development/objectives of the Health Sector to make a shift toward more efficient care in the hospitals, care-at-home, or telehealth concepts. However, the academic curriculum of physicians and specialists trained in most European and American universities do not adapt yet their educational programs to tackle the epidemiological evidence of an urgent need for more health providers able to correctly assess KSD.

For this reason, CHU Brugmann's CLIREMM (Clinique de la lithiase rénale et du métabolisme minéral) is proposing the 4th year of online Academy 2023-2024, "Let's talk about kidney stones," which bridges the gap between knowledge and practice. Our aim is to share the knowledge within the community of healthcare professionals interested in the improvement of understanding of kidney stone disease pathophysiology to update the skills in the assessment, treatment and follow-up of the kidney stone formers.

The scientific program has been prepared in collaboration with worldwide experts from International Collaborative Network on Kidney Stones (ICONEKT).

This year, we will be continuing to focus on the gaps between pathophysiological findings and the clinical management of patients with kidney stones.
