Any day we can spend in our SIM center is a good day!

This week we held our Enteral Nutrition Hands-On Class which included simulated NGT placements with guidance from one of our nurse educators and lecture and practice case studies with one of our ICU/nutrition support dietitians.

This class will help lay the foundation for our nutrition support and more advanced clinical rotations.

Hands-On Enteral Skills Lab: this week we spend a half-day discussing all things enteral nutrition (EN). Gabby, one of our nutrition support clinicians taught the bulk of our lecture and walked us through EN calculations and navigating the ins/outs of EN management. Angela, one of our clinical nurse educators, guided us through hands-on placement of NGT in our volunteer patient 😉

1 week ago today we held our 8th annual Nutrition Focused Physical Exam (NFPE) Hands-On Workshop. We’re lucky enough to host this workshop in our SIM center to get as close as possible to the full patient experience.

This skill is essential for the identification of malnutrition and is a competency for both DPD students and dietetic interns.

Thanks to all who participated this year! Special shout out to our organizing team and group of on site presenters and patient volunteers (last slide).

Until next year!
