Abstract: This project served as a platform to promote health literacy and encourage change in practice. Small tests of change were observed in pediatric nephrology interprofessional team members as evidenced by the implementation of health literacy assessments at certain pediatric nephrology centers and the willingness to participate in health literacy related projects and activities. In addition to serving as a platform, this project serves as a foundation for continued work in promotion of best practices related to health literacy.; A project utilizing a twenty-six question web based electronic survey was conducted to examine a convenience sample of pediatric nephrology interprofessional team member characteristics, health literacy perception and health literacy experience. The purpose of this project was to gain knowledge that could be used to develop, promote, and enhance best practices related to health literacy among pediatric nephrology interprofessional team members.
