In the NEWS: Training in Lung Ultrasound for nephrologists


Recent studies and posts in nephronpower have shown the importance of lung ultrasound in clinical care in nephrology. A recent letter in Kidney International by our fellow and faculty highlight this important skill as part of training for both fellows and faculty.
