Conservative kidney management (CKM) is an important therapeutic alternative for patients who do not wish to pursue dialysis for their advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite a growing body of evidence and clinical services to support patients who do not wish to pursue dialysis, nephrologists receive very limited training in CKM. This is a randomized trial of nephrology fellows that utilizes surveys to assess their change in knowledge, confidence and practice of providing CKM with receipt of CKM-EMPOWER. The investigators hypothesize that the CKM-EMPOWER will improve nephrology fellows' knowledge and confidence with delivering key elements of CKM. Investigators will recruit 126 nephrology fellows from US fellowship programs and randomize participants in a 1:1 fashion to either receipt of the CKM-EMPOWER or non-receipt. Participants will complete web-based surveys to assess knowledge and confidence with providing CKM between groups.
