To educate physicians and other healthcare professionals on the fundamentals of nutrition, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has launched a new article series titled Nutrition for the Clinician. The effort supports the White House National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health and its directives to expand nutrition knowledge of healthcare providers, an effort long supported by the American Society for Nutrition. Dr. Nancy Krebs, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, is the Associate Editor for the series.
Through case-based learning, Nutrition for the Clinician provides continuing education that enhances clinical reasoning and the use of the best nutrition evidence in practice. Each clinical case will feature a clearly identified nutrition problem and defined learning objectives. Cases will be published in the journal’s regular issues periodically throughout the year.
Dietitians also may find interest in the range of medical scenarios and accompanying nutritional diagnostics and therapies presented.
The AJCN welcomes contributions to this new series from both individual providers and inter-professional teams. Prospective authors can direct pre-submission inquiries to ajcn.editorialoffice@jjeditorial.com.
