The American Kidney Fund (AKF) and MAVEN Project will partner to support primary care clinicians with educational resources to strengthen early identification and treatment of kidney disease.
MAVEN Project is a nonprofit with a mission to address inequities in healthcare by connecting providers at safety net clinics with expert physician volunteers. AKF is a nonprofit supporting kidney health through programs that address early detection, disease management, financial assistance, clinical research, innovation, and advocacy.
Under the partnership, AKF will develop content for an educational activity for community health centers and safety net clinics and provide subject matter expertise for subsequent educational activities when possible. MAVEN Project will provide continuing medical education accreditation to healthcare professionals for this educational activity.
In addition, AKF will review and analyze ways to improve MAVEN Project’s existing nephrology content, provide educational resources and materials for its network of community health centers and safety net clinic sites, and recruit up to 4 nephrologists to increase MAVEN Project’s pool of nephrologists available for referrals. MAVEN Project will submit data to AKF on common themes and gaps in clinical knowledge to help guide the creation of clinical content in the future.
The joint effort highlights the importance of frontline community health center staff having access to up-to-date educational resources to improve patient outcomes around kidney disease.
