Day 1 of posters for our fellows and residents (@UNMCIMResidency) at #KidneyWk2024!

Though transplant nephrology now has @acgme approval, several concerns remain: 1. ACGME accreditation has not been linked to increased compensation for any field 2. Probably another exam 3. More paperwork for PDs, more money for ACGME 💰 ajkd.org/article/S0272-… #KidneyWk
