Dr. Lawson Selected for New Nestle Nutrition Fellowship
Nestlé Nutrition Institute (NNI) is launching an Enteral Nutrition fellowship program, and Christy Lawson, MD, Surgery Resident, will be in the inaugural class of six fellows. These physicians will receive training in nutrition therapy as an integral part of trauma, surgery, gastroenterology, endocrinology and critical care specialties at some of the nation's leading medical centers.
Dr. Lawson said the fellowship affords a unique opportunity to study surgical nutrition from some of the nation's leading experts in the field, which she hopes to bring back to the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine.
"The new fellows identified through the NNI's initiative represent the next generation of physician thought leaders," said David Yates, Regional Business Head of Nestlé HealthCare Nutrition. "Their dedication to using enteral nutrition as a key component in the critical care process will not only change the landscape of care, but it will ultimately save lives. We are proud to welcome these fine candidates to the program."
The one-year program will include a four-week clinical rotation where fellows will be exposed to an intense educational curriculum while participating in hospital rounds and learning tube-feeding related procedures. The fellowship also provides mentoring and professional support, enabling participants to publish, identify research interests, and participate in U.S. and international professional meetings, including the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Clinical Nutrition Week meeting.
For more than 60 years, Nestlé has contributed to the continuing nutrition education of health professionals. Founded in 2000, the Institute formalizes Nestlé's commitment to collaborate with health professionals in the area of infant, clinical and performance nutrition to actively participate in the exchange of knowledge and nutrition expertise. Primary activities under the Institute include the sponsorship of workshops, the development of publications and educational tools, and provide scholarships for postgraduate study or training in fields related to health and nutrition.
