BACKGROUND: Nephrology attracts fewer medical graduates despite the growing care and workforce demand. Interventional Nephrology could re-foster interest in this subspecialty. Percutaneous kidney biopsy (PKB) is the most common procedure and should be adequately taught through simulation training according to ACGME requirements. We initiated a PKB simulation training program and we designed a two-year study in order to examine its effect on the confidence level, the procedural competence and the satisfaction with this training of Nephrology fellows compared to historical controls (fellows trained on PKBs before the initiation of the program). METHODS: All fellows were consented and trained at UNM’s simulation center (BATCAVE) with a renal b...
