Journal-based CE Activity Overall Goal:

The NCP Editor, in concurrence with ASPEN’s Education and Professional Development Committee, selected this article to be offered for CE credit to fill an observed learning need in the arena of clinical nutrition and metabolism. This CE activity serves to promote the process of life-long learning for physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, and nurses by providing peer-reviewed journal articles that fully qualify for continuing education credits.

Goal and Target Audience:

This educational activity is directed toward clinical nutrition and metabolism professionals and others who wish to update their knowledge of clinical nutrition and metabolism. By participating in this educational activity, the reader may expect to:

Acquire knowledge in the area of clinical nutrition and metabolism research.
Update or confirm your understanding of appropriate clinical nutrition and metabolism practices.
Identify further learning needs as they relate to the subject matter.

Learning Objectives:

Identify factors that contribute to the development of obesity.
Evaluate dietary patterns that may contribute to inflammation.
Apply malnutrition screening and assessment tools for patients with obesity.

Evaluate side effects of treatment with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor analogs and gastric inhibitory polypeptides that may contribute to the development of malnutrition.

Requirements for Successful Completion:
To obtain CE credit for this activity, attendees must read the journal article in its entirety, complete an online assessment and achieve a score of 100%, and complete an online activity evaluation. All are located in ASPEN’s eLearning Center (www.nutritioncare.org/elearning). All CE credit must be claimed prior to the expiration date, no exceptions. ASPEN submits data as required to the CPE Monitor for pharmacists. ASPEN submits physician earned CME credit into Pars. ASPEN does not submit data to any other credentialing organization.
