Learn to Diagnose Malnutrition – Cleveland Clinic Malnutrition Workshop (October 17)

Highlights:

• Hands-on stations for nutrition focused
  physical assessment
• Opportunity to learn and apply Academy/ASPEN adult malnutrition guidelines in a simulated setting with trained actors and observers
• Immediate, personalized feedback from Cleveland Clinic advanced practice registered dietitians

Format:

• Hands-on Stations (small group of participants will rotate through 4 stations): Describe head to toe physical assessment of fat and muscle loss; Using edema pads simulate fluid accumulation assessment and recognise fluid impacts diagnosis; use a hand dynamometer for assessment of functional status; read a CT and use an ultrasound machine to assess muscle and fat
• Patient Simulations (each learner participates in 3 simulations)
• Individualized application of Academy/ASPEN adult malnutrition guidelines in a simulated setting with trained actors and observers
