and upskilling programs in Yeouido, the city center of Seoul,
providing an opportunity to have hands-on experience with Fresenius
Medical Care’s most advanced medical equipment used for
hemodialysis (HD), automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and

from Fresenius Medical Care, together with regional clinical
education experts from across Asia Pacific, will provide best
practice training for healthcare professionals within the renal
care field.
With the opening of the Training Center, Fresenius Medical Care
Korea pledges its ongoing support of healthcare professional
education. Regular academic conferences will include Advanced Renal
Educations Program (AREP), Fresenius Medical Care Korea’s
distinguished education initiative which is organized annually for
healthcare professionals in renal care; and training for nephrology
nurses dedicated to caring for dialysis patients. The Fresenius
Medical Care Training Center also offers educational opportunities
catering to individual healthcare professionals specializing in
particular treatment modalities such as PD, HD, and CRRT.
“KSN welcomes and appreciates Fresenius Medical Care’s efforts
