Morgan Casal (Class of 2019) was awarded the Kidney STARS (Students and Residents) travel grant from the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) to attend ASN Kidney Week in San Diego, California, October 2018.
The goal of the ASN Kidney STARS program is to stimulate interest in nephrology careers by targeting medical students, graduate students, residents, and PhD postdoctoral fellows within the first two years of training with an interest in nephrology but have not yet committed to applying to a fellowship. In addition to tailored events and networking opportunities, this program provides travel support, complimentary registration to attend the ASN Annual Meeting at Kidney Week, and complimentary membership to the society.
