EACCME® accredited module

Launch our CME accredited eLearning module to find out where we are with calcineurin inhibitor-free immunosuppressive regimens for renal transplantation and discover how new predictive tools can help achieve long-term kidney graft survival. This webinar-based module is chaired by Professor Julio Pascual and includes expert input from Professor Stefan Berger, Professor Helio Tedesco Silva and Dr Olivier Aubert.

Course overview

How much do you know about evolving immunosuppressant approaches for renal transplant recipients and are you familiar with newly developed tools for the prediction of allograft loss in these patients?

Put your knowledge to the test with our interactive CME accredited module, which includes information on calcineurin inhibitor-sparing immunosuppressant strategies and introduces iBox, the first universal algorithm for the prediction of kidney transplant loss.

Following a brief introduction to the module, you will be shown video footage from our webinar, ‘Achieving long-term outcomes in renal transplantation - what’s on the horizon?’, which includes contributions from four expert faculty. You will then be asked a series of assessment questions based on the video you have just watched.

Further information

Evaluation questions will be asked at the end of the module. You must achieve a score of 70% or above to pass the course and receive your CME certificate.

At the end of the course, you will also be asked to complete a short survey, giving you the chance to provide feedback on your experience of the module.

On completion of this course, participants will understand:

• the limitations of CNI therapy for renal transplant recipients
• emerging strategies to overcome the issue of CNI toxicity
• the potential benefits of co-stimulation blockade in renal transplant recipients
• the development and clinical importance of the iBox algorithm
