Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Most every new clinician practicing in nutrition support enters their practice environment with wide open eyes and a sense of curiosity as they encounter new patient and clinical experiences. As clinicians expand their expertise, they often identify challenges they are eager to address. Eagerness turns to passion as the desire to affect change grows. Malnutrition has sparked curiosity and interest in many, and, in some, it has become a passion. As a result, many major achievements have occurred both in the United States and globally that have the capability of moving the needle favorably to achieve better outcomes for our patients. This lecture will highlight how curiosity, eagerness, and passion have led to successes in addressing aspects of malnutrition. These successes offer the structure to continue our efforts to move the needle forward. Our patients deserve nothing more.
