Comments from the 2009 DNS Symposium
From a first time attendee:
" This was the first DNS Symposium that I have attended and I will definitely be back. The speakers were excellent and discussed a wide range of topics that were all relevant to current nutrition support practice. I particularly enjoyed the hands-on workshops and the case study presentations because they showed step by step how to put the nutrition care process and the evidence-based guidelines into practice. This also helped create an environment where all attendees could work through a scenario in the process and get feedback from peers as well as speakers. I'm already using information that I learned at the DNS symposium in my practice in the medical intensive care unit. I would recommend attending the DNS Symposium to any dietitian wanting to learn more about up to date, evidence-based nutrition support topics along with practical application guidelines"-- Beth Howardson

It Was A Success!
Greetings from Seattle -
Over 130 participants attended the 2009 DNS Symposia - Navigation Tools for Achieving Evidence-based Nutrition Support Practice this past weekend in Seattle. All attendees raved about the great networking opportunities, hands-on workshops, and high quality speakers reviewing the most recent clinical practice guidelines related to a variety of topics on nutrition support.
For those of you who were unable to attend, we are in the midst of planning a product that will be available for purchase at FNCE that will provide many of the speaker's powerpoint presentations and references.
