One barrier is a lack of experience among fellows due to inadequate training. To enhance fellow training, the American Society of Nephrology launched the Home Dialysis Virtual Longitudinal Education Program (ASN-HDU) with Home Dialysis University (HDU) in 2023.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n We evaluated the ASN-HDU longitudinal program using mixed-methods. We sampled participants (P) from two groups: (\n 1<\/jats:italic>\n ) fellows who attended both HDU and the American Society of Nephrology virtual program and (\n 2<\/jats:italic>\n ) fellows who only attended HDU. We sent a post-HDU survey and 8-month follow-up survey to assess quantitative changes in comfort in home dialysis. We interviewed participants from both groups and used a constant comparative method to identify qualitative themes related to home dialysis training.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n After attending HDU, 52 participants reported median comfort levels of 7\u20138 of 10 for peritoneal dialysis topics and 4\u20135 of 10 for home hemodialysis topics. In the follow-up survey, only participants of ASN-HDU demonstrated significant improvement in comfort level for all home dialysis topics by 1\u20132 of 10 (except volume overload management on peritoneal dialysis). Two main themes emerged from 10 qualitative interviews: (\n 1<\/jats:italic>\n ) home dialysis training is sporadic and lacks structure, with subthemes describing challenges with receiving hands-on training, lack of systematic training, and a need for fellows to create their own training pathways, and (\n 2<\/jats:italic>\n ) HDU and ASN-HDU are structured curricula that fill many educational gaps, but not all, with subthemes describing the value of these programs, examples of how fellows apply knowledge gained in clinical practice, and gaps that these curricula cannot directly address.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Participation in ASN-HDU was associated with improved fellow comfort levels in home dialysis. Both HDU and ASN-HDU help address several gaps in home dialysis training in fellowship programs, but trainees may benefit from additional hands-on clinical experience.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2215\/cjn.0000000813","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,25]],"date-time":"2025-09-25T16:01:45Z","timestamp":1758816105000},"page":"1584-1593","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of a Longitudinal Virtual Education Series on Home Dialysis Education"],"prefix":"10.2215","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0342-041X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wendy WQ","family":"Ye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2178-7801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anjali","family":"Saxena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California"},{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, San Jose, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7043-9754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kerry A.","family":"Leigh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Society of Nephrology, Washington, DC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3658-711X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas A.","family":"Golper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee"},{"name":"Larner College of Medicine, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7544-5843","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edward R.","family":"Gould","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0921-3902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Graham","family":"Abra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janice","family":"Lea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"Glickman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Renal-Electrolyte and Hypertension Division, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2063-9357","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shimrit","family":"Keddem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion, Corporal Michael J.
