Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Investigator plans to establish a virtual platform for home dialysis physician mentoring with the intent to:

1. Formulate a practical, interactive, virtual curriculum in home dialysis
2. Provide dedicated video conferences in home dialysis mentorship
3. Measure knowledge awareness and attitudes towards home dialysis

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Home-based kidney replacement therapy offers enhanced quality of life and clinical advantages compared to conventional in-center hemodialysis. Globally, there is an increased awareness of home dialysis. However, there is a lack of mentoring centers to support new programs and/or nephrologists to initiate and grow home dialysis.1, 2 Critical prerequisites for a successful mentoring relationship include:

* Established excellence in home dialysis in the mentor center
* Willingness from both mentors and mentees to participate in the program
* Engaging, high quality clinical content, including sharing of best practices
* Lack of system barriers to establish home dialysis
* Dedicated metrics to measure success of the program

The Investigator plans to establish a virtual platform with the intent to:

1. Formulate a practical, interactive, virtual curriculum in home dialysis
2. Provide dedicated video conferences in home dialysis mentorship
3. Measure knowledge awareness and attitudes towards home dialysis

The Investigator hypothesizes that an effective, sustained mentorship program will increase knowledge and awareness of home dialysis and will ultimately enhance overall home dialysis adoption.
