EARLY CAREER SUPPORT: RENPRO Training Courses

Renpro1

      

RENPRO offers a tailored training program focusing on renal research for early career researchers of the TRR 374.

RENPRO training courses are compulsory for PhD students within projects of the TRR and open for interested medical doctoral students, master students, MD fellowship students, postodcs and physician scientists.

During their doctoral studies, PhD students must complete the Basic Nephrology Course once, as well as four Advanced Nephrology Training Courses and four Methods Courses and at least twice a Summer School.

The RENPRO training modules focus on kidney-specific content that broaden and deepen students´ qualification. They cover a broad spectrum from structural research to clinical nephrology. The courses are led by experienced TRR project leaders and their experienced coworkers. The interdisciplinary approach is intended to bridge the gap between basic research in the laboratory and clinical research. It promotes cooperation and provides young scientists with an efficient orientation in the broad field of kidney research.

Accreditation:
RENPRO training courses are certified by the graduate schools (RIGel, BIOMEDICS, life@FAU) in which the PhD students are enrolled, so course work performed in the kidney-specific RENPRO modules is credited.

A performance record is kept for TRR doctoral students. You can download a summary of the program and a checklist to keep track of the courses you have completed.
