NASPGHAN Annual Meeting 2020

Nutritional Therapy for IBD Virtual Booth: Please stop by our booth for our daily lecture series, featuring medical experts who are researching, publishing, and advocating for the incorporation of nutritional therapy in the management of IBD. The following presentations are planned:

• Why Dietary Therapies for IBD? - Lindsey Albenberg, DO
• Putting out the Fire with EEN: Anti-inflammatory Effects of Nutritional Therapy in Crohn's Disease - Andrew Day, MD
• Practical Approaches to Establishing Nutritional Services - Kaylie Nguyen, NP
• Diet and IBD: From the Microbiome and Beyond - David Suskind, MD
• Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet: A Novel Dietary Therapy for the Treatment of Uncomplicated Crohn's Disease - Arie Levine, MD

We also offer opportunities to engage with some of these experts in our "Meet the Professors and Practitioners" program. Details for these opportunities coming soon! Interact with our exhibit staff as they offer years of knowledge and personal experience with therapeutic diets and are available to answer questions from a patient or family perspective, including experience with children and teens. Please also see the videos created by some of these teens wishing to share their experience with you.

From the NASPGHAN Website: While the ongoing pandemic has made it impossible for us to safely gather in person, we are very excited to bring you an innovative virtual program that will reach a wider audience and provide on-going educational programs for our trainees and support of our membership. The virtual event will occur the same week as our original meeting: November 1-7, 2020.

NASPGHAN has assembled a special Task Force, headed by President-elect Dr. Benjamin Gold, to review the program that was originally set for the face-to-face meeting and all of our opportunities to expand the event in this new platform. The Task Force is ensuring that we will still maintain our excellence in education, presentations of cutting edge research and mentorship for our trainees and junior members and that these aspects are not only preserved but that we also seize the opportunity to extend our outreach for the 2020 Annual Meeting with exciting new options.

When you register for the 2020 Annual Meeting and/or Postgraduate course, you gain access to all of the content both live and recorded for that program. So instead of being able to only attend one session at a time, you can attend a live session and go back and view the other concurrent sessions within 24 hours of them being live - For a full year!
