Dialysis Training Institute

Specialties

At the very core of training at DTI you’ll find our people: the staff, the faculty, our students, and our graduates. We are a family-​owned company founded by experienced people who have a deep, personal connection to the hemodialysis profession. Our students become part of that family, and when they graduate, they are encouraged to maintain their connections to DTI. Together we number more than a thousand professionals in the hemodialysis and related professions, and that’s a substantial force in healthcare.
