This pre-conference course offers practical skills for clinical nutrition practice for dietitians, physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. Faculty experts will dive into a variety of topics, including the use of human milk in special populations, incorporating nutrition focused physical exam in a nutrition assessment, neonatal nutrition, calculating nutrient needs in the complex pediatric population, and treating feeding aversions in the tube fed child.
