This curriculum consists of four online modules that address essential concepts and communication skills related to conservative care. It is followed by an in-person, interactive, ?flipped classroom? session facilitated by designated nephrology educators at participating Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education nephrology training programs.

Mean self-reported preparedness (measured on a five-point Likert scale) increased significantly for all ten concepts taught in the curriculum. The mean correct score on eight knowledge questions increased from 69% to 82% following the curriculum ( P
