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 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, scientists and training program directors in nephrology, creating synergy in a setting for groups among whom interactions do not typically occur. The unique setting of the PDS (occurring during the ASN Kidney Week) allows the interactions initiated at PDS to solidify throughout the week and beyond. This year, the Seminar is an intensive one-day learning event. A variety of delivery methods and formats, from 1:1 speed-mentoring to roundtable 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 a growing population of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the demands for high-quality CKD patient care and advancement in nephrology research have become more intense. One critical strategy for meeting these demands is to ensure the quality of our future workforce, which hinges on nurturing professional career growth for new comers. Nephrology fellowship training does not include a focused training on professional growth. 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 to 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 PDS speakers and/or planners. Approximately 50 percent PDS attendees have been women and underrepresented minorities.

专业发展研讨会（PDS）由Women in Nephrology （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的总体目标是为肾脏学培训生和初级教师提供关键知识和技能，以促进他们的专业成长，并帮助他们实现职业目标。具体来说，PDS提供了在当前的劳动力环境中导致肾脏学事业成功的特征的见解，突出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，汇集了初级和高级医生、科学家和肾病学培训项目主任，在一个通常不发生互动的群体中创造了协同作用。PDS的独特设置（发生在ASN肾脏周期间）允许在PDS发起的互动在整个星期甚至更长时间内固化。今年的研讨会是一个为期一天的密集学习活动。各种交付方法和形式，从1:1的快速指导到圆桌促进小组讨论，再到全体会议，都被用来刺激和最大限度地提高有效的学习。每一位被邀请的发言者都将得到具体指示，说明在分配给他们的时间内要实现的目标。
