Medical Nutrition Therapy for Chronic Pancreatitis | 1 CPEU 

Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by progressive, unrelenting pancreatic inflammation, which can eventually lead to loss of pancreatic function. The prevalence of chronic pancreatitis is increasing, and unfortunately, there is no cure. Treatment involves input from the interdisciplinary team, including dietitians. In this webinar, we take a deep dive into better understanding the pathophysiology, treatment, and nutrition implications of chronic pancreatitis. Led by GI expert dietitian, Emily Manez, MS, RD, CNSC, this webinar will discuss the nutrition implications of loss of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions as well as how to screen and treat malnutrition in this patient population.

In-Depth Assessment Techniques in the ICU | 1 CPEU

Entering the ICU can feel overwhelming for many dietitians. It can feel intimidating to assess a critically ill patient because there are so many details to account for. In this webinar, we’ll boost your confidence with a practical and relevant tour of the ICU. Learn what details matter for your nutrition plan of care and how to determine what and when to start feeding these fragile patients. Presented by critical care expert Sara Glanz, MS, RD, LD, CNSC.

Weight Management for the Aging Population | 1 CPEU

Rates of obesity are on the rise in the United States. Likewise, the population is getting older as the Baby Boomer generation reaches retirement age. These trends are complicated by the metabolic changes that occur as humans age. Elders are more at risk for developing sarcopenia and malnutrition. Managing these seemingly conflicting conditions is challenging. How can dietitians effectively assist their clients in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight while also reducing the risk of sarcopenia and malnutrition? Led by weight management dietitian, Kim Meeuwsen, RDN, LDN, CSOWM, this webinar will take a deep dive into the complexities of weight management in aging populations.

2 p.m. EDT | Managing GI Side Effects of Cancer Treatment | 1 CPEU

Many cancer treatment options work by attacking rapidly dividing cells. Unfortunately, this often results in destruction of healthy tissues too, including those lining the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. As a result, many oncology patients suffer from mucositis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other unpleasant side effects. These symptoms negatively impact nutritional intake, which can lead to malnutrition. The development of malnutrition may lead to treatment delays, debility, and poor quality of life. The role of good nutrition during cancer treatment cannot be overstated. Dietitians play a central role on the multidisciplinary treatment team. In this webinar, expert oncology dietitian, Federika Garcia, MS, RD, LD, CNSC, will discuss nutrition-focused ways to manage the GI side effects that are common to oncology treatment protocols.  

Performance Indicators: 10.4.2, 10.4.3, 10.4.4, 10.4.7

An Update on Blenderized Tube Feeding | 1 CPEU

More than ever before, patients and clients are requesting whole food based enteral feeding formulas. But are dietitians equipped to honor these requests? As the nutrition experts, dietitians need to be prepared to help their patients and clients successfully pursue blenderized tube feeding options when they wish and ensure all nutrient needs are met. In this webinar led by nutrition support expert, Lyncoln Nardo, MS, RD, CNSC, we will review commercially available blenderized tube feeding formulas, explore recipes and components to make these formulas from scratch, and address common pitfalls and misconceptions.

Performance Indicators: 8.1.3, 8.1.4, 8.1.5, 8.2.3

Social Determinants of Health: What Dietitians Should Know | 1 CPEU

Social determinants of health reflect the conditions in which individuals live, work, learn, and play. They can have a big impact on an individual’s access to and perceptions about healthcare, including nutrition care. So, what do dietitians need to know about the social determinants of health and how to navigate them? Join seasoned dietitian, Courtney Lee, MS, RDN, CLT, CFCS to find out.

Nutrition and Alcohol | 1 CPEU

Excessive alcohol intake can have serious implications for patients’ nutritional health.

Navigating the Needs of Home Parenteral Nutrition Patients | 1 CPEU

Sometimes patients need long-term parenteral nutrition support, which involves in-home infusions. Home parenteral nutrition presents its own unique challenges and requires the dietitian to shift their mindset when it comes to prescribing and monitoring. In this webinar, experienced home infusion dietitian, Federika Garcia, MS, RD, LD, CNSC, will explain exactly how to optimize nutrition care for the patient receiving home parenteral nutrition. She’ll describe prescribing best practices, logistics of equipment and compatibility, and how to troubleshoot when complications arise.
