Abstrakt:	Aim and Objective: This questionnaire study aimed to evaluate the impact of a short educational session on the early diagnosis and management of acute kidney injury (AKI) among doctors specializing in fields other than nephrology, assessed through pre- and post-test scores. This educational study included resident doctors from various specialties for assessment. Materials and Methods: The study enrolled different specialty resident doctors' departments and assessed them through questionnaires and assessment scores. The pre-test questionnaires were first distributed and collected after 20 minutes. This was followed by a 30-minute short educational lecture on AKI by the nephrology faculty about its early diagnosis and management as per the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. Immediately post continuing medical education, the same questionnaires were distributed along with feedback forms and collected after 10 minutes. Results: A total of 110 residents participated in the study. All participants showed significant improvement in the post-lecture questionnaires compared to pre-lecture scores. For medicine and allied branch residents, the pre- and post-lecture scores were significantly higher than those of the surgical and allied branch residents. The lowest score was observed in residents of orthopedics. The improvement scores of all departments also showed significant differences. The highest improvement was seen in the department of gynecology, followed by residents of the critical care unit and the department of anesthesia. The residents of those departments with high pre- and post-test scores had lower improvement scores. Conclusion: The study found a significant knowledge gap in different sister specialties in diagnosing and managing AKI. Short educational sessions showed significant improvement in AKI understanding by addressing the knowledge gaps. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
