ASPEN's Physician Community

In 2017, the ASPEN Board of Directors created the Physician Engagement Committee, which was charged with growing the ASPEN physician community, both nationally and internationally.

Goals:

  • Create a home for physicians within ASPEN.
  • Increase physician awareness of ASPEN activities/resources of value to physicians.
  • Expand involvement and interaction with the international physician community.
  • Develop an annual cutting-edge symposium at the Medical Practice Section forum.
  • Develop an annual pre-conference course for local, national and international physicians.
  • Promote collaborative writing of manuscripts among physicians in ASPEN on nutrition topics.
  • Engage physician organizations across medical/surgical specialties for collaboration on nutrition issues.
  • Build awareness of our nutrition community through a registry of names and a series of physician spotlight interviews.

Committee Co-chairs: Steve McClave, MD, FASPEN and Todd Rice, MD
