The CME-accredited International Summer School of Renal Pathology & Precision Medicine (ISSRPPM) will be held at the University of Bari in June 2024 with state-of-the-art facilities. This educational endeavor is dedicated to advancing knowledge and improving management of kidney disease. The school builds on previous experience gained through the International Summer School of Renal Pathology (ISSRP) since 2011 and aims to train the next generation of renal pathologists to practice integrated nephropathology.

The school will be organized in 4 modules:

• Precision Medicine – Basic Concepts from tissue procurement to data extraction and analysis
• Pathology of Native Kidney Diseases with clinico-patholologic and molecular correlation
• Digital Pathology and Image Analysis of Kidney Diseases
• Molecular Nephropathology & Data Integration

Each module will include:

• Formal educational lectures
  – Renal Pathology
  – Image analysis
  – Omics technologies
• Hands-on laboratory experience in small groups
  – Case review and case study in small groups with trainer
  – Image analysis
  – Relevant Omics technologies
• Data integration & phenotyping-endotyping – Case studies
