Bistrian Nutrition Mentorship Award Lecture “Do or Not Do, There is No Try” – Mentoring the Future of Clinical Nutrition: Is Our Specialty in Crisis, and Why the World Needs Us Now More Than Ever (M41)

Breakout

Paul Wischmeyer
Paul Wischmeyer
MD, EDIC, FASPEN, FCCM

As the world faces an unprecedented rise in nutrition-related diseases and conditions where nutrition can improve outcomes, including obesity, cancer, critical care, and metabolic disorders, especially within aging populations, the demand for skilled researchers, clinicians, and educators in clinical nutrition has never been more urgent. However, our critical specialty is experiencing a decline in nutrition-trained physicians and pharmacists and there is a need for more research-focused dietitians. This crisis is compounded by and in part due to, significant shortcomings in medical and professional clinical nutrition education in medical schools and post-graduate training. To address this crisis in our clinical nutrition specialty, this lecture will explore the essential attributes of great mentors, drawing inspiration from history and pop culture, and underscore the pivotal role of mentorship, such as that provided by the great Dr. Bistrian,  in fostering the next generation of clinical nutrition professionals. By examining strategies to address educational gaps and reignite interest in clinical nutrition careers through advances such as new clinical nutrition technology, the lecture will highlight how mentorship can be leveraged to cultivate interprofessional collaboration among the healthcare team including physicians, dietitians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and pharmacists, ensuring the growth and sustainability of our vital specialty for education, research, and clinical practice.
