The Center for Human Nutrition team meets monthly to expand our knowledge of gastrointestinal (GI) nutrition and related disciplines. These meetings feature presentations from VUMC team members on a wide range of topics, as well as occasional presentations from colleagues outside of VUMC. Every other month, we also hold a journal club where we review and discuss recently published research and explore how the findings may be applied to our current practices.

Allergic Disease Conference is offered weekly. Participants will engage in education on current issues on evaluation and management of allergic and immunologic diseases and discuss implications for clinical practice and the impact on patient outcome. A variety of topics from researchers in several disciplines from across the VU and VUMC institutions will be covered.

This will be a twice weekly meeting for the adult and pediatric Bone, soft tissue and skin (BSTS) pathology services. The following types of cases will be discussed: diagnosis pending and requiring consensus input; potential disagreements; and invaluable teaching points.

Burn centers across the country have this meeting to run through each patient on the unit, run them by all members of the team to keep their care consistent, organized and to ensure we are all aware of our patients, how they are doing and what their plans are. This meeting is vital to help coordinate and improve our patients care which is our most important reason for having it.

Pre-recorded PowerPoint-based education hosted by live specialists for questions/conversation. Each session will be provided at multiple times over the course of 1-2 weeks so all providers can attend at their convenience. This is a case-based conference that has clinically-based questions during the presentation and actively solicits participation from the audience for questions, discussions, comments.

The case based meeting is designed to present challenging cases with review and discussion of relevant published studies. Particularly relevant journal articles will be reviewed in detail to help trainees develop strategies to evaluate published studies. Strategies to implement relevant findings from research studies into practice will be discussed.

Participants will engage in education on current issues about molecular biology and emerging therapies in managing patients diagnosed with amyloidosis and discuss implications for clinical practice and the impact on patient outcome. A variety of topics from researchers in several disciplines from across the VU and VUMC institutions will be covered.

This conference will examine current challenging complex infectious disease cases. Information about presenting signs and symptoms and current care will be presented, relevant evidence and local experience will be discussed, and strategies for future care will be suggested.
