Expanding CAPD in Low-Resource Settings: A Distance Learning Approach.

Background: Despite growing need, treatment for end-stage renal disease is limited in low- and middle-income countries due to resource restraints. We describe the development of an educational curriculum and quality improvement program to support continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) performed primarily by non-nephrology providers in Sri Lanka.

Methods: We developed a program of education, outcome tracking, and expert consultation to support providers in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
