The in‐center dialysis unit and practice of dialysis, in the current multi‐team approach, requires knowledge and skills in all the domains including medical expert, communicator, collaborator, scholar, health advocate, and leader. We are tasked as a community, to embrace and incentivize new innovations and technology to address these needs for our post graduate trainees. These innovations must address the basic principles of dialysis, quality improvement, technical and procedural skills as well as leadership and administration skills. The teaching methods and innovations must also be challenged to demonstrate the translation into adoption and improvements in practice to demonstrate success. This article will review the current state of the training curriculum in Nephrology for in‐center hemodialysis and address some of the recent innovations.
