Traveling for an educational program is not always practical.
Being away from work and family can be difficult, and can be a financial strain for clinicians. The GI Nutrition Support Weekend Program was developed as an alternative for busy clinicians—the program comes to you!
Professional continuing education is not only required to maintain registration status, but also to maintain the highest level of practice. Too often, programs providing continuing education are not convenient, resulting in travel and lodging expense on top of registration fees. This is why we are now offering programs by design, GI nutrition support programs that come to you!
CREATING CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMS TO FIT YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS
These programs are designed to combine evidenced-based, yet practical educational programs by experienced clinicians in an informal, small-group format so attendees receive more interaction with our presenting team, making sure your questions get answered!
Although geared for registered dietitian nutritionist’s seeking to advance their knowledge in adult nutrition support with a GI focus, all healthcare professionals are welcome (international, too!). The program prides itself on providing the most current evidence, actual case discussions with practical guidance in management, in an environment that encourages questions, with plenty of time to network with like-minded colleagues.
