Management of the Patient with Intestinal Failure and Malnutrition: A Multi-Disciplinary Discussion on Best Practices
Overview
Gastroenterologists are often at the frontlines of managing intestinal failure, yet they face persistent challenges: treating complex underlying conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), coordinating gut rehabilitation, and navigating nutritional deficits that can severely impact patient outcomes.
This webinar zeroes in on those challenges — offering practical strategies and clinical insights to help gastroenterologists and APPs improve care for patients with intestinal failure and malnutrition. Led by a multidisciplinary panel including surgeons, dietitians, and GI specialists, the session defines intestinal failure, explores evidence-based management approaches, and provides actionable guidance.
This webinar was held in partnership with the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN).
