Abstract

A working experience abroad is an educational pearl in the specialist training process, a unique occasion to call into question and enrich one's own knowledge. I think that the young “Nephrologists-to-be” should be encouraged and supported as much as possible to spend abroad some of their training time. Beyond the current issue of the medical “brain drain”, to set a foot outside the country is always instructive, and I herein describe my personal experience.
