title: [What future for today young nephrologists?].
abstract: In this article, the Italian Society of Nephrology discusses the risks for the Medical Specialty in Nephrology and the possible lack of job opportunities by young nephrologists, that arises from the actions taken in the last years by National and Regional Italian Governments. The article reports the main legislative rules required to access the work system both in public and private hospital. Finally, we examined the different criteria and the standards requested for Regional Accreditation by Italian National Health System, and to obtain reimbursement by private and public providers. These requirements might be useful to guarantee both the specificity of nephrology specialty in the assistance to patients affected by kidney diseases, and a stable and qualified job for young nephrologists.
