The Institute has developed postgraduate training and updates in the form of symposia, seminars and conferences in Nephrology. The Institute has facilitated the Caribbean Renal Registry and will assist in the operation and maintenance of such registry in collaboration with the Ministries of Health of the region and other stakeholders. It is active in public education and awareness of kidney diseases and charitable work related to such diseases. In the treatment of renal disease and the prevention of such, it seeks to share up-to-date knowledge. It has work closely with transplant teams and various associations such as the Caribbean Association of Nephrologist and Urologist to create this advanced academic environment. This Nephrology and Hypertension Conference is one of the activities through which the Institute seeks to bring together scientist and healthcare providers to advance the science of kidney disease and patient care. The Nephrology and Hypertension conferences over the past 11 years have been successful, spanning three days (in the first instances) with over thirty insightful presentations on Kidney diseases and Hypertension. Attendants ranged from medical professionals, students (medical, nursing and pharmacy), pharmaceutical representatives, and pharmacist to nurses; not only from Jamaica but also from North America, Europe and the Caribbean. This year’s conference will continue to focus on educating both the academician and civil society about kidney disease and the way to prevent or slow its progression. Treatment strategies, screening the at risk population for kidney diseases, discourse on healthy lifestyle and objectives to reduce the prevalence of the disease will be highlighted.

The USRDS is the ‘gold standard’ for kidney disease epidemiology in this country. Since 2006, he has been Co- Principal Investigator for the Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) National CKD Surveillance System for the US, a one of a kind project that focuses on upstream surveillance of CKD and its risk factors. From 2012- 2016 Dr. Saran led the development of the first National Kidney Disease Information System (VA-REINS), for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), funded by the VA’s Center for Innovation. Dr. Saran has recently (2018-2020) been funded on a spin off project from VA REINS for investigation of hot-spots of kidney disease among US Veterans involving both risk-prediction and geospatial analyses. He also serves as Co-Principal Investigator for a cluster randomized, pragmatic trial (DIALYSAFE) in hemodialysis aimed at improving cardiovascular safety, funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Most recently, he is the Chair of a World Congress on Non- communicable Diseases (NCDs), being held on the campus of the University of Michigan from August 1-6, 2020.
