Introduce Your Clinician to the American Society for Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition

If they are not already familiar with our organization, you can introduce your clinician who provides your nutrition support therapy to the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN). ASPEN is a medical professional organization that aims to improve patient care by advancing the science and practice of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Our main audience is clinicians who provide nutrition support, including enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition, to patients. This includes dietitians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, physicians, physician assistants, scientists, and other health professionals. Familiarity with ASPEN can support improved patient care. Here are some of the key reasons clinicians involved in providing nutrition support to patients should pursue membership with ASPEN:

• ASPEN is the premier society that produces clinical guidance documents on best practices in nutrition support.

• ASPEN provides training, including on-demand courses and live webinars, on nutrition support topics. These offerings provide continuing education (CE) credit for health professionals.

• ASPEN hosts an annual conference that features the latest research, developments, and guidance in nutrition support.

• ASPEN offers access to a network of interdisciplinary professionals focused on nutrition support.

• ASPEN offers professional development and leadership opportunities for those who want to contribute more broadly to developments in the field.
