The course is divided by disease processes: GI diseases and food allergies, liver disease and metabolic syndromes as well as enteral and parenteral nutrition and supplements. There is specific focus on “novel approaches” and “outdated practice” to keep the seasoned health care practitioner up to date and well informed. Overall, this is an advanced course that covers detailed disease management therapy and medical nutrition therapy, a must have for anyone working with advanced nutrition therapy.
