National O'Brien Centers Kidney Seminars (NOCKS)
The Vanderbilt-O’Brien Kidney Center (VOKC) is coordinating a monthly, Zoom-based seminar series for the eight adult and two pediatric O’Brien Kidney Centers in the US. The National O’Brien Center Kidney Seminars (or NOCKS) will take place on the second of Tuesday (1-2pm CDT) or Friday (11am-noon CDT) of every month, starting with VOKC on Tuesday November 10th 2020, and then rotating each month between centers through to August 2020. The idea of this seminar series is to promote regular scientific interactions between participating centers, with each center selecting one speaker to present some of the most exciting current research from their institution. These will be 40-minute talks, followed by moderated discussion. We also plan to set up a private chat room at the end of each of the seminars for interested trainees to “meet the professor”. Each of the participating centers will choose their speakers and host each of the Zoom meetings with support from the VOKC to coordinate meetings and promote lively, interactive discussions.
