Kathleen Herman, DO

Hardest month of my life. I feel dumb daily but that’s learning. The bean fiend that’s me. I could talk about potassium at 2 AM to anyone ❤️🫘

SAVE the DATES for 2026! The Joint Pediatric Nephrology Meeting will be March 4-8, 2026 Location: Hyatt Regency Miami The Fall 2026 PNRC meeting will be October 8-10, 2026 Location: Children's Mercy Research Institute (CMRI) Conference Center Go to: lnkd.in/getY7vVs

Attending: “how does that ABG look?” Me as a med student:

Hot take, NC removing the physician supervision requirement for PAs after 4000 hours (less than even the shortest residency) seems not only disastrous for PAs not trained for this but unfair for patients. Idk I feel like if you want to practice independently go to medical school

Pediatric Nephrology Fellows in the Triangle!! Awesome to get our fresh PGY-4s Logan and Jacob to come to the NKF Fellow Welcome BBQ. Excited to see what things we can do together this year!

New PGY-5 on the block. INSANE past year but loving the kidneys more than ever! Excited for more passion projects and QI this upcoming year! #pedsneph

Nephrology people...this is no time to stay silent. "...some of the biggest changes will be felt at the NIH, where the budget document lists 2026 funding at $27.5 billion, down from nearly $48.5 billion in 2025." amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/30…

Let’s talk about biomarkers for kidney injury in patients that received Cisplatin chemotherapy this afternoon at poster 095 from 2:30p-4:30p! See you soon! 🌺💁🏽‍♀️ @pFeNa_fellows @ASPNeph

See you at poster 095! Cisplatin chemotherapy, novel urine biomarkers and maybe a new possible way to predict CKD in our cancer survivors! @ASPNeph @PASMeeting @pFeNa_fellows 🤩🌺

Once again putting out the job calling- my fiancé is in cybersecurity and has been out of a job for 4 months. The market is garbage but it’s also all about who you know. If anyone has any leads or people in this field please reach out!!

Week on call made better by coffee, a new badge reel, and motivational stress cubes ❤️

@A_Sapp12 Ok but EM but peds and I did comquest and reviewed the green book for Chapmans and OMT

Alright EM DO friends what are we doing for level 3? Rosh alone and review the cases section format? Truelearn? Comquest?
