Abstract

Performing interventional procedures requires a different skillset not traditionally associated with nephrology training. It involves developing cognitive skills and understanding the indications of different interventional procedures, their limitations and potential complications, mastering fluoroscopic eye-hand coordination, understanding the behaviors and properties of various guidewires and catheters, and acquiring fine motor skills in manipulating these devices. These skills are essential to perform interventional procedures safely and effectively. Competencies can be achieved with the right attitude and adequate hands-on procedural and clinical training.
