Early in the decade there was major concern about the treatment of End Stage Renal Disease and the maintenance of life for the renal disabled. Over this ten-year period major advances have been made in medical treatment, dialysis and transplantation. Financial assistance for medical support has been provided through the Social Secu:it ;y Amendment of 1972. This combination of medical and financial factors has led to a substantial increase in the survival rate of persons disabled with chronic renal failure. During the early 1970's it was projected that there would be 13,000 new cases of End Stage Renal Disease per year. By the end of the decade this number had grown to approximately 50,000 additional cases each year. With the increase in persons disabled with chronic renal failure, the rate of successful rehabilitation has decreased. This is somewhat remarkable in that several studies have suggested that from 60 percent to 70 percent of the renal disabled can return to former employment or to jobs which can make use of their transferaLle skills. In an attempt to learn more about the characteristics of the individual with chronic renal failure and the variables which can be used to predict return to employment, both The George Washington University and Emory University Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers have been conducting research in this area. The research projects have been in pro- gress for more than three years and have begun to furnish data which can improve the vocational decision-making process. Both Research and Training Centers have been providing training to disseminate the results of their research efforts. Unfortunately, staff members of the state rehabilitation agencies have not been able to attend the workshops in sufficient numbers to impact the vocational rehabilitation programs. To combat this problem, the Research and Training Centers of the two universities joined together to pool staff and resources in sponsoring a National Workshop entitled "Vocational Rehabilitation and End Stage Renal Disease." The two sponsoring research and Training Centers extended an invitation to all state vocational rehabilitation agencies to send one staff member to participate in the workshop. Information on the workshop was also shared with a group of dialysis centers, encouraging them also to enroll staff members in the training program. It was the intent of the course directors to bring together vocational rehabilitation personnel and dialysis center staff to update their knowledge of the treatment and rehabilitation of chronic renal failure and to initiate dialogue between the two groups. 2 The National Workshop on "Vocational Rehabilitation and End Stage Renal Disease" was held in Denver, Colorado on December 11-13, 1979. The participants, in their evaluations, reported a general concensus that the program was very helpful to them. The following is a report of the proceedings of the Workshop which the course directors hope will be helpful to those professionals who are interested in the vocational rehabilitation of the renal disabled.
