Our Mission
Enhancing kidney health, advancing collaborative care, and empowering communities through ethnoculturally competent and patient-centered outcomes research
The Kidney Health Education and Research Group (KHERG) is a group of healthcare professionals and researchers in the Multi-organ Transplant Program and Centre for Mental Health at the University Health Network and University of Toronto. We are committed to helping patients with chronic kidney disease, their families, and clinicians through innovative, patient centred outcomes research and health education.
Advancing a collaborative, integrated approach to patient care, we turn research into outcomes that matter to patients and families – beyond the lab values.
The KHERG Advantage
If your passion is kidney health, healthcare, and the influence of psychosocial factors, this is the group for you. At KHERG, you’ll have the opportunity to develop and apply practical research skills to clinical settings and health equity issues. We provide our team with exceptional training to clinical research and opportunities to engage in every step of the research process, writing process, and resource development process. As a diverse, multidisciplinary group, we are committed to supporting your growth in your field and fostering the development of essential professional skills.
