You’ll educate patients and families on their treatment options, help them manage lifestyle changes, and empower them to take control of their health. Whether it’s guiding a newly diagnosed patient through the process of managing chronic kidney disease or supporting a post-surgical patient with recovery, your compassion and expertise will be key to helping them feel confident in their care. In the Renal Urology Unit, you’ll be part of a close-knit team that values collaboration and shared knowledge.
