Nephrologists must also be confident with screening methods available, as this medical specialty relies heavily on laboratory tests, ultrasounds and CT scanning for patient management. http://www.mymedicalcareer.com.au/specialties/physicians/nephrology/intellectual-content-23.php http://www.mymedicalcareer.com.au/specialties/physicians/nephrology/intellectual-content-23.php Nephrology pathology workplace Sat, 09 Aug 2008 17:25:23 +0000 Nephrologists spend much of their time on direct patient care. Patients of all ages are encountered and, in many cases, require long-term management. In the case of chronic renal failure and dialysis, nephrologists get to know these patients over many years and have an appreciation of the burden on, and commitment required of, these patients and their families. Nephrologists must be excellent communicators, as education is an important part of patient management. http://www.mymedicalcareer.com.au/specialties/physicians/nephrology/the-doctorpatient-relationship-22.php http://www.mymedicalcareer.com.au/specialties/physicians/nephrology/the-doctorpatient-relationship-22.php Nephrology nephrology workplace Sat, 09 Aug 2008 17:22:59 +0000 ^ Kidney Health Australia.
