survey

The #NephJC survey closes soon

Thank you for all of you who have responded and filled out the #NephJC survey - over 300 respondents so far! We wanted to give a heads up to the rest of you - the survey will be closing soon. Wednesday 12 midnight Eastern is the deadline. We would love to hear from any of you who haven't had a chance to voice your opinion. So please go ahead and let us know what you think and how we can improve. 


The #NephJC survey

The #NephJC team has designed a survey - to get to know more about you and your opinions. It's a simple, short survey, that will not take more than a few minutes (we promise) to complete. We would really like you to complete all the questions, though the ones where we ask more about you are optional. The overall purpose of doing this survey is two-fold. Firstly, we would like to hear more about what you like, what you don't like and how we can improve what we are doing with #NephJC. The second purpose is to know a little bit about you - all of you, who are following us on twitter or on facebook, who tweet at the chats or who lurk, or who get our weekly mailer.

Needless to say, completing the survey is completely voluntary. None of your information will be divulged. We do have institutional review board approval (from the Ottawa Hospital Health Sciences Research Ethics Board) to conduct this survey.

Lastly, this survey is conducted with Google docs. This makes it simple and easy, but please answer to the best of your ability, truthfully, and complete it only once.

thanks!

The #NephJC team
