Neonatal & Pediatric Nutrition: Update 2010

Conference Overview

“Excellent update, evidence-based, confirming some of my current practices, but opening up areas for changing future practice as well.”

“I especially enjoyed hearing about what other facilities have done to improve breast feeding rates as well as measures to reduce NEC overall.”

“I really appreciated how all topics were approached with the family’s dynamic in mind. No strategy will work if the family is not on board and/or cannot accommodate the lifestyle change.”

These are just a few of the comments from participants following the Neonatal & Pediatric Nutrition: Update 2009 Conference, and now you have the opportunity to experience this exciting meeting! Join your colleagues for the Neonatal & Pediatric Nutrition: Update 2010 Conference and focus on the assessment and treatment strategies that will result in care promoting growth, healing and health maintenance in these vulnerable patients.

Designed for dietitians, nurses, physicians, pharmacists and occupational therapists who work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, this national Conference validates that optimal nutrition is a key factor in neonatal and pediatric patient outcomes. Engage in lively discussions, bring questions to be answered by the experts, and develop comprehensive approaches to the nutrition challenges you face daily.
