Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving field of nutrition support. The 41st Annual Mid-Atlantic Area Society for Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition (MASPEN) Conference brings together leading experts to share the latest evidence-based practices in parenteral and enteral nutrition for adult and pediatric patients.
Designed for registered dietitians, pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals, this conference tackles real-world challenges in nutrition support therapy. Explore emerging approaches to critical care nutrition, pediatric short bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal motility disorders, parenteral nutrition compatibility and stability, home nutrition support, and identification of pediatric faltering weight. Interactive learning sessions, hands-on demonstrations, scientific posters, and expert-led presentations provide practical strategies you can apply immediately in clinical practice.
As nutrition science and technology continue to advance, staying current is essential for delivering safe, effective, and patient-centered care. Join colleagues from across the region to gain fresh perspectives, strengthen your clinical decision-making, and connect with professionals who share a commitment to excellence in nutrition support. Don't miss this opportunity to bring the latest evidence and best practices back to your patients and your organization.
