NephMadness was developed by the creative minds behind the AJKD Blog as an engaging way to showcase the vibrant and exciting field of nephrology. NephMadness pays homage to the NCAA Basketball Tournament, replacing the usual field of 64 basketball teams with 64 medical concepts, arranged into a single-elimination tournament bracket. This year, Medscape is partnering with NephMadness to highlight nephrology's interaction with other specialties, including oncology, infectious diseases, nutrition, vascular surgery, cardiology, obstetrics, critical care, and genetics. Put your knowledge to the test by playing along!
Go to the NephMadness Tournament to make your predictions and vie for the championship. Deadline for entering the contest: March 22, 2015, at noon EDT.
The AJKD Blog is the official blog of the National Kidney Foundation's flagship journal, the American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD), and is intended to highlight selected journal content in an engaging, timely format. The blog has interviews with authors of journal articles, commentaries on developments in kidney research, quizzes to test clinical knowledge, meeting coverage of kidney conferences, and more.
