Programme

The Clinique de la Lithiase Rénale et Métabolisme Minérale, Hospital Brugmann, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Brussels, Belgium in collaboration with Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Nephrology and Division of Endocrinology, and Charles and Jane Pak Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA has created a University Certificate in Kidney Stone Disease: from diagnosis to treatment (UniverStone). This initiative was unavoidable given the warring increase in the prevalence of the disease and the enormous growth potential of digital learning. The objectives are to offer an in-depth, integrated, multidisciplinary course, drawing on the latest research and recommendations for best-practice in patient care.

The course would cover all of the pathophysiolological, clinical, biological and therapeutic aspects of urinary lithiasis. This certificate is intended for anyone working in the diagnosis and treatment (both curative and preventative) of kidney stones and related renal and extra-renal complications.
