DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Request is made for support of Pediatric Nephrology Seminar 32, to be held in Miami Beach, FL, February 25 to March 1, 2005, and the four following seminars. The seminars are organized to include, on an international basis, faculty and other participating scientists and clinicians, ranging from young trainees to established clinicians and investigators. The seminars take place over a 4-day period and deal with a diverse array of current nephrologic and urologic issues, ranging from basic science to clinical practice. Topics are chosen to relate research advances to the understanding of mechanisms of renal disease and clinical diagnosis and management. Presentations are carefully timed to permit maximum opportunity for discussion by participants and faculty. The atmosphere is deliberately maintained at an informal level, encouraging participation by even the most junior attendees. A number of major themes are selected for each seminar, each usually involving three or more presenters, allowing comprehensive coverage of each area. The aims of the seminar are two-fold. First, and foremost, is to stimulate interest in pediatric nephrology as a career choice. This is accomplished by actively encouraging the attendance of young trainees who have evidenced an interest in nephrology. The informal setting facilitates interaction between the young trainees and the established faculty. The faculty provide successful role models and offer direct evidence of satisfaction with careers in research as well as in the clinical practice of nephrology. The second aim is to create opportunities for extensive exchange of ideas and knowledge among the faculty and the participants as well as to foster international collaboration. This is accomplished by including outstanding faculty and limiting the size of the meeting, permitting extensive discussion and exchange of ideas. The faculty and participants have many opportunities to interact at the formal sessions and during scheduled and nonscheduled social encounters. The success of the seminars in achieving these goals is attested to by the fact that this format, creatively adjusted annually to accommodate changing ideas and needs, has proven viable for over 30 years as an effective, participatory teaching and learning tool.

描述（由申请人提供）： 请求支持将于 2005 年 2 月 25 日至 3 月 1 日在佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩举行的第 32 届儿科肾病学研讨会以及随后的四场研讨会。这些研讨会的组织成员包括国际范围内的教师和其他参与的科学家和临床医生，从年轻的学员到成熟的临床医生和研究人员。研讨会为期 4 天，讨论当前的各种肾脏病学和泌尿科问题，从基础科学到临床实践。选择的主题将研究进展与对肾脏疾病机制的理解以及临床诊断和管理联系起来。演讲的时间安排经过精心安排，以便为参与者和教师提供最大的讨论机会。气氛有意保持在非正式的水平，鼓励即使是最初级的与会者也参与其中。每个研讨会都会选择一些主要主题，每个主题通常涉及三名或更多发言人，从而可以全面覆盖每个领域。研讨会的目的有两个。首先，也是最重要的，是激发人们对儿科肾脏病作为职业选择的兴趣。这是通过积极鼓励对肾脏病学感兴趣的年轻学员参加来实现的。非正式的环境有利于年轻学员和老教师之间的互动。教师们提供了成功的榜样，并提供了对肾脏病学研究和临床实践职业满意度的直接证据。第二个目标是为教师和参与者之间广泛交流思想和知识以及促进国际合作创造机会。这是通过邀请杰出的教师并限制会议规模、允许广泛的讨论和思想交流来实现的。教师和参与者有很多机会在正式会议以及预定和非预定的社交活动中进行互动。研讨会在实现这些目标方面取得了成功，事实证明，这种形式每年都会进行创造性调整，以适应不断变化的想法和需求，30多年来，事实证明它是一种有效的、参与性的教学和学习工具。
