New Product Development Chair
Ainsley M Malone, LD MS CNSD RD
Greetings DNS members,
I am excited to be leading a new group within DNS; one whose focus is to provide you with tools, resources and opportunities to grow and advance in your practice. The New Product Development committee has already started working on ideas for products to bring to you, our members. These include:
- sixty minute webinars on nutrition support topics including case studies
- a compilation of the lectures provided at the 2009 Symposium held in Seattle
- a Power Point slide set on enteral and parenteral nutrition for use as presentations
- a compilation of patient case studies from Support Line
- a product including resources combing the nutrition care process and nutrition support practice
We want your feedback and ideas on these projects as well as any other resources that are of potential benefit to you. We welcome your ideas. Look to the website for news when these products are completed and are available.
Thank you...
Ainsley
