DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Professional Development Seminar (PDS) is organized by Women in Nephrology (WIN) and has been offered annually since 1996 as a part of the post-graduate education courses during the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week. The overall objective of the PDS is to provide key knowledge base and skills to nephrology trainees and junior faculty to enhance their professional growth and to help them reach their career goals. Specifically, PDS offers insights into characteristics that lead to a successful career in nephrology in the current workforce environment, highlight skills necessary to acquire these characteristics, and identify and develop strategies to overcome barriers. The Seminar also fosters networking, bringing together junior and senior physicians and scientists in nephrology, creating synergy in a setting for groups among whom interactions do not typically occur. The unique setting of the PDS (occurring immediately prior to the American Society of Nephrology [ASN] annual meeting) allows the interactions initiated at PDS to solidify throughout the week and beyond. This year, the Seminar is an intensive two-day learning event. A variety of delivery methods and formats, from 1:1 speed-mentoring to facilitated group discussion, to plenary sessions, are employed to stimulate and maximize effective learning. Each invited speaker will be given specific instructions as to objectives to be achieved in their allotted time. Most of the speakers for the plenary sessions are also assigned to group discussions and 1:1 mentoring for further individualized career counseling. With growing population of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the demands for quality CKD patient care and advancement in nephrology research have become more intense. One critical aspect of meeting these demands is to ensure the high quality of our future workforce, which hinges on nurturing professional career growth for those coming into the field. Nephrology fellowship training does not include a focused training on professional growth, essential for achieving a successful career. The proposed PDS is an effort to fill this gap, providing key knowledge and skills to empower participants to maximize their potential and allow them to have more opportunity to flourish, thereby contributing their talents more fully to the better understanding of kidney diseases, their diagnosis and treatment. The Seminar is, therefore, timely and is clearly an NIH/NIDDK area of specific focus. The organizers and speakers of the seminar are of exceptional quality and uniquely suited for their assigned tasks. On the basis of feedback over the years, PDS has been consistently achieving its objectives. It exerts a powerful impact on the career development of many attendees who not only have achieved their professional goals but also return each year as invited speakers and/or planners of PDS. Approximately 50% PDS attendees have been women and under-represented minorities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed Professional Development Seminar (PDS) will provide key knowledge base and skills to nephrology trainees and junior faculty to enhance their professional growth. By so doing, the Seminar will empower participants to maximize their potential and allow them to have more opportunity to flourish, thereby contributing their talents more fully to the better understanding of kidney diseases, their diagnosis and treatment. The Seminar is clearly an NIH/NIDDK area of specific focus and will contribute to the preservation of the value of medicine and to the advancement of public health related to kidney diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：专业发展研讨会 (PDS) 由女性肾脏病学 (WIN) 组织，自 1996 年以来每年举办一次，作为美国肾脏病学会 (ASN) 肾脏周期间研究生教育课程的一部分。 PDS 的总体目标是为肾病学实习生和初级教师提供关键知识基础和技能，以促进他们的专业发展并帮助他们实现职业目标。具体来说，PDS 提供了对在当前劳动力环境中导致肾病学职业成功的特征的见解，强调了获得这些特征所需的技能，并确定和制定克服障碍的策略。研讨会还促进了网络建设，将肾脏病学领域的初级和高级医生和科学家聚集在一起，为通常不会发生互动的群体创造协同效应。 PDS 的独特设置（在美国肾脏病学会 [ASN] 年会之前举行）使得 PDS 上发起的互动能够在整个星期及以后得到巩固。 今年的研讨会是一次为期两天的密集学习活动。采用多种授课方法和形式，从 1:1 快速辅导到便利的小组讨论，再到全体会议，都被用来刺激和最大限度地提高有效学习。每位受邀演讲者都将收到关于在指定时间内要实现的目标的具体指示。全体会议的大多数演讲者还被分配进行小组讨论和1:1辅导，以进一步进行个性化职业咨询。 随着慢性肾脏病 (CKD) 患者数量的不断增加，对优质 CKD 患者护理和肾脏病学研究进步的需求变得更加强烈。满足这些需求的一个关键方面是确保我们未来劳动力的高质量，这取决于培养进入该领域的人员的职业发展。肾脏病专科培训不包括针对职业发展的重点培训，而这对于实现职业成功至关重要。拟议的 PDS 旨在填补这一空白，提供关键知识和技能，使参与者能够最大限度地发挥他们的潜力，让他们有更多的机会蓬勃发展，从而更充分地贡献他们的才能，更好地了解肾脏疾病及其诊断和治疗。因此，本次研讨会非常及时，并且显然是 NIH/NIDDK 的重点关注领域。研讨会的组织者和演讲者都具有卓越的素质​​，并且非常适合他们所分配的任务。 根据多年来的反馈，PDS 始终如一地实现其目标。它对许多与会者的职业发展产生了强大的影响，他们不仅实现了自己的职业目标，而且每年还作为 PDS 的受邀演讲者和/或策划者回归。大约 50% 的 PDS 参与者是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的专业发展研讨会（PDS）将为肾病学实习生和初级教师提供关键的知识基础和技能，以促进他们的专业发展。通过这样做，研讨会将使参与者能够最大限度地发挥他们的潜力，让他们有更多的机会蓬勃发展，从而更充分地贡献自己的才能，更好地了解肾脏疾病、诊断和治疗。该研讨会显然是 NIH/NIDDK 的重点领域，并将有助于保护医学价值和促进与肾脏疾病相关的公共卫生。
