The CiDA Meeting information is coming soon; previous meeting info may be found below for reference.

Simulation of Dialysis Access

One of the most valuable elements of the CiDA conference is the well-attended, intensive, Simulation of Dialysis Access (SoDA) program.

Modeled in part on the air travel industry’s approach to improving flight safety, SoDA teaches hands-on vascular surgical and endovascular techniques using simulation models under the supervision of leading vascular surgeons. This workshop has proven to be a popular and effective training method. Previous SoDA attendees have overwhelmingly reported that the learning format was interactive and engaging, they agreed that what they learned will ultimately benefit patient care, and they stated that they experienced no commercial bias.

Act Fast. Space Is Limited.

Join us at the intensive, hands-on Simulation of Dialysis Access (SoDA) program.

SoDA:

  • Increased use of covered stents for central venous obstruction
  • More aggressive treatment of central stenosis
  • Greater emphasis on percutaneous fistula creation
  • Increased use of ultrasound in arteriovenous fistula access

SoDA will once again use cutting-edge science and medical best practices to educate clinicians who see dialysis patients on a regular basis.  

The information provided in this program is designed to meet the educational needs of the target audience:

surgeons, interventional radiologists, nephrologists, and medical staff who regularly care for dialysis access patients.
