Looking to grow your skills with GI patients?
The way I learned my GI dietitian skills was on a practical level.
How? Through mentorship, case presentation, and getting to discuss complex cases as a group - something that dietitians often lack in a GI setting.
For the last few years, I've run small GI dietitian supervision groups, focused on each groups 'GI learning wish list' in addition to myself, or the group dietitians presenting and discussing cases.
This year - I'm looking forward to running it again with a group of 12 dietitians!
We will be having 5 one-hour sessions focused on tackling the nutrition management and medical advocacy for complex GI patients - everything from bile acid diarrhea, to EoE, to mast cell disorders (and their intersection with gut disorders!).
We don't set a specific list of topics or make cases mandatory (so no worries if you don't have many GI cases - I will always have a case ready to present and discuss if no one has a particular case of interest that week) - as each group in the past has had different educational needs and wishes, and so I will let the group guide topic choices each week.
FAQ
What's in it for you?
- Gain confidence and competence in case presentation and discussion - if you haven't had the opportunity to present cases in a rounds-style fashion before, I find this is a really great skill to learn so you're comfortable talking with doctors and other HCP's about GI cases. I find the more confident you are in case presentation, the easier it is to advocate for your patients where needed. Typically, any cases dietitians need support with will be presented at the beginning of each session, followed by suggestions on management from me, and of course the group is welcome to offer their expertise as well.**I will share my case presentation templates with you!
- Nutrition Managements of Complex GI Patients - each groups learning wish-list has been different, however, popular topics include:
- Nutrition management and medical advocacy for SIBO diagnosis & treatment
- Eosinophilic esophagitis
- Microscopic colitis
- IBD (EEN, PEN, research update/discussion on dietary interventions, often end up chatting about emulsifiers too)
- Functional dyspepsia
- Bile Acid Diarrhea
- IBS - how to manage when the Low FODMAP diet fails - nutrition considerations & other interventions
The session will be held over Zoom (SCHEDULE BELOW), and will be recorded for you to watch in case you can't make it - they will be housed on GutEd for you with any resources/papers we discuss available there for you as well.
What is the cost of this program?
The investment for the 5 sessions is $450 CAD.
