Description

Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2025

Noon–1 p.m. EDT  

Join us for this upcoming event in our Gastro Bites series — virtual webinars with leading experts.

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 will define intestinal failure, explore evidence-based management approaches, and provide actionable guidance.

Held in partnership with the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), this event is held during Malnutrition Awareness Week — a timely opportunity to strengthen your clinical toolkit and collaborate across disciplines.

Learning objectives:

Define what intestinal failure is and how it is diagnosed. 
Understand why patients with intestinal failure are at such high risk of malnutrition. 
Review dietary, pharmacological, and surgical treatment options for this patient population, highlighting the role of the gastroenterologist.
