Fellowship in Renal Pathology at MGA Medical Global Academy is an advanced academic program for pathologists, nephrologists and health care professionals to gain in-depth knowledge of the diagnosis and interpretation of kidney diseases. The Course gives a structured exposure to renal pathology and is based on renal anatomy, renal pathophysiology, renal histopathology, renal transplant pathology and emerging molecular diagnostic techniques. The principles of light microscopy, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy and digital pathology are explored and the link between pathological findings and clinical presentation made. The course includes teaching on wide range of renal diseases such as glomerular, tubulointerstitial, vascular, infectious, hereditary, pediatric and renal transplantation related diseases. The learner gains a more thorough understanding of nephropathology and how this influences the management of patients through the use of case-based discussions and exposure to the current classification systems, biomarkers, and evidence-based practice. The programme also covers the principles of precision medicine, artificial intelligence, research methodology, laboratory management and ethical issues pertinent to current renal pathology practice.
