Live webinar: Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 2 p.m. EST
With the complexity of digestion and the gastrointestinal tract, it’s understandable that intervention requiring ostomy placement can alter this normal process. Depending on the type of ostomy, nutrition recommendations can vary and it’s up to the dietitian to determine the best patient-specific approach. In this webinar, join Stacey Phillips, MS, RD, as she walks us through different types of ostomies, nutrition recommendations for each, and how this information can be applied to your own patient practice.
Please note: CPEU credit will be granted for live attendees only.
