The center offers a dedicated education hub for healthcare professionals to undertake training and upskilling programs in Yeouido, the city center of Seoul, providing an opportunity to have hands-on experience with Fresenius Medical Care’s most advanced medical equipment used for hemodialysis (HD), automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Certified trainers from Fresenius Medical Care, together with regional clinical education experts from across Asia Pacific, will provide best practice training for healthcare professionals within the renal care field.

 

With the opening of the Training Center, Fresenius Medical Care Korea pledges its ongoing support of healthcare professional education. Regular academic conferences will include Advanced Renal Educations Program (AREP), Fresenius Medical Care Korea’s distinguished education initiative which is organized annually for healthcare professionals in renal care; and training for nephrology nurses dedicated to caring for dialysis patients. The Fresenius Medical Care Training Center also offers educational opportunities catering to individual healthcare professionals specializing in particular treatment modalities such as PD, HD, and CRRT.

 

“KSN welcomes and appreciates Fresenius Medical Care’s efforts in establishing the training center and offering comprehensive training programs for the healthcare professionals,” said Professor Yang Chulwoo, President of the KSN. “It is expected to make a positive contribution to improve the quality of medical services for patients in Korea in the long term.”
