These folks didn’t fit into a neat category but NephMadness 2023 would not have been possible without them:

NephTwitter as always for vibrant discussion and debate
Graham Gipson @grahamgipsonmd for designing the 2023 NephMadness logo
Cathy Quinlan @KidneyCathy for creating this year’s edition of her helpful explainer video
Omar Taco @Errantnephron for creating the results scoreboards
Kathryn Troy and Kim Dunisch at the National Kidney Foundation @nkf @NKF_NephPros for coordinating CME and MOC
Sarah Pratta at Elsevier for promoting NephMadness and arranging free Advances in Kidney Disease and Health subscription for the Grand Prize Winners
Susan Allison @suz_allison for arranging free Nature Reviews Nephrology subscription for the Grand Prize Winners
AJKD Editorial Office: Alina Foo, Noah Skaroff, Andrew Fleming, Barb Saper, and Sarah Lake

And finally, a special THANK YOU to all of our game players!

Friendly Reminder: The bracket fun may be over but NephMadness content will still be around on the AJKDBlog. US-based physicians can earn 1.0 CME credit and 1.0 MOC per region through NKF PERC (detailed instructions here). The CME and MOC activity will expire on June 1, 2023.
