Hemodialysis MNT Course Series for Renal Dietitians (2026)
A complete training system for dialysis dietitians combining clinical foundations, advanced MNT strategies, and real-world dialysis workflow tools.
Cost: $425
Why this course
Dialysis nutrition isn’t just about knowing the guidelines—it’s about knowing how to apply them in real clinic workflows, with real patients and real time constraints.
The Hemodialysis MNT Course Series was built by renal dietitians to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and everyday dialysis practice.
The program includes two complementary levels of training that together provide a complete framework for dialysis nutrition care:
- Foundations Course (Level 1): Practical “survival skills” for navigating clinic workflows, assessments, documentation, and monthly responsibilities.
- Advanced Course (Level 2): Advanced clinical deep dives into complex nutrition, medications, metabolic pathways, and clinical decision-making.
Together, the courses deliver the clinical knowledge and “street smarts” of dialysis practice, helping you:
- Understand how dialysis clinics actually function
- Manage monthly workflows, documentation, and QAPI efficiently
- Strengthen clinical reasoning around labs, symptoms, and nutrition interventions
- Improve counseling, communication, and collaboration with the IDT
