The Nephrology Social Media Collective has embraced a vibrant transformation, emerging anew as “The Nephrology Education Collective”. This change in nomenclature reflects our revitalized mission to broaden the horizons of how nephrology education is disseminated. Moving beyond the confines of social media, our collective now encompasses a comprehensive approach to education, aiming to reach learners wherever they are in their professional journey. With this fresh start, we have also created and are launching a new logo that depicts global participation and our commitment to advancing nephrology education together. By refreshing our name and introducing this symbol, we affirm our dedication to innovation and inclusivity in educating the next generation of nephrology professionals. This evolution represents our commitment not just to keeping pace with educational trends, but to leading and defining them.

The new mantra of "Collaborate, Create, Communicate" for nephrology education collective effectively captures the essence of modern educational strategies in the field of nephrology. Here’s why each component is essential:
Collaborate: Collaboration is foundational in nephrology education and research. At Nephrology education collective, by working together, nephrologists, educators, researchers, and clinicians share knowledge, skills, and resources, leading to more comprehensive and diverse learning experiences. Collaboration takes many forms, from multi-institutional research studies to joint educational programs and international partnerships.
Create: Creativity involves developing innovative teaching methods, educational materials, and research projects. This includes the use of new technologies like the creation of engaging and accessible content like podcasts, blogposts, and visual abstracts. Creating novel educational resources and approaches not only enhances learning but also ensures that educational content remains relevant and adaptable to the changing landscapes of medicine and technology.
Communicate: We aim to disseminate knowledge clearly and efficiently among peers, trainees, patients, and the broader community. Communication also involves engaging with a global audience through conferences, journals, social media, and other platforms to share insights, research findings, and educational resources.
Together, these three tenets—collaborate, create, communicate—enrich the educational experiences of learners and practitioners in nephrology. This mantra not only promotes a more integrated and dynamic approach to education but also aims to build a more connected and innovative nephrology community.
