What Dietitians Need to Know About Psychotropic Medications Including Weight Gain, Nutrient Interactions, and Pediatric Issues
Presenting: Zaneta Pronsky, MS, RD, LDN, FADA and Dean Elbe, BSc (Pharm), BCPP
After speaking to a packed house at last year's FNCE, we have asked the authors of the indispensable "Food-Medication Interactions" to create an even more info-packed workshop to update you on the latest information about psych meds and nutrition. If you work in clinical or community nutrition, pediatrics, chemical dependency, behavioral health, and/or eating disorders treatment, you will find this workshop to be extremely beneficial. An afternoon snack is included.
Time: 12:00-3:00 p.m.
