Cornerstones of Care: Professionalism

The effective delivery of dialysis treatment requires each clinician be skilled in multiple areas.  Whereas most renal professionals receive training regarding the clinical aspects of the initiation, monitoring, and discontinuation of a dialysis treatment, less attention is paid to other important issues associated with effective care.  Specifically, the issue of Professionalism has been demonstrated to be a critical component in the delivery of a successful health care experience.
