Neonatal & Pediatric Nutrition: Update 2011

The phrase "neonatal and pediatric nutrition" brings to mind a multitude of issues and challenges for the practitioner.

What is the patient's age, medical status and developmental ability? What are the current evidence-based guidelines and protocols relevant to the patient's condition? What is the best nutritional support to provide, and the safest, most effective way to provide it? From the very low birthweight premie to the overweight adolescent, these are key issues to address in striving to achieve the goal of ideal nutrition for growth, healing and health maintenance.

The 3rd Annual Neonatal & Pediatric Nutrition: Update 2011 conference is designed for dietitians, nurses, physicians, pharmacists and occupational therapists who work in both inpatient and outpatient neonatal and pediatric settings. We invite you to engage in lively discussions, bring questions and cases to problem-solve with the experts, and explore comprehensive approaches to the nutrition challenges you face daily. Count on the faculty and your colleagues from across the country to motivate and inspire you!
