New KART Tool now available
Dr. Waterman and her collaborators recently published a validated assessment tool – The Knowledge Assessment of Renal Transplantation (KART 2.0) – for measuring chronic kidney disease and transplant-related knowledge. KART 2.0 advances the science of transplant education and provides researchers with a reliable assessment tool in identifying chronic kidney disease patients with the greatest need for health services.
