"One of the biggest evolutions I would like to see happen is at-home care whenever possible. Some institutions have already started to expand into home hospital patients and other services in the home, and I think there is room for growth in this area of Nephrology care. In almost every situation, patients would rather be in their own homes, including those on dialysis treatment. As long as the monitoring tools and staff are available to make this a reality, the sky is the limit."

Put some thought into questions like this before your interview so you are prepared to talk in an educated manner about how the delivery of healthcare can improve over time. Perhaps you feel that healthcare can best evolve through more patient-centric attitudes. Maybe you think care coordination and synergy within the administration is the fastest way to improve healthcare. Maintain a positive attitude and describe how you feel healthcare is currently evolving.

I believe the three main challenges facing nephrology are the inequitable outcomes of first nations patients, the increased rates of cardiovascular disease in renal patients, and the poorer quality of life of dialysis patients. The most important intervention is always primary prevention; and I would most like to see for many reasons everyone in Australia having access to good food, good housing, and good education, especially first nations people, and I think this would be key to reducing rates of kidney and cardiovascular disease. Secondly, improved screening rates of kidney disease and early identification and aggressive cardiovascular risk management, including outreach programs with ideally first nations health care professionals for first nations patients, would be key to secondary risk reduction. Finally, in patients with existing kidney disease, I would like to see increased renal supportive care programs running concurrently with standard nephrology care to improve the lives of patients with chronic kidney disease, increased rates of pre-emptive transplantation so many patients can ideally avoid the need for dialysis, and increased dialysis options at home to help improve the quality of life of many of our patients.
