What You'll Learn
- Identify clinically significant drug–nutrient interactions and their impact on patient care.

Drug–nutrient interactions (DNIs) are common clinical challenges that can affect medication efficacy, nutritional status, and patient safety. This fast-paced, interactive session will engage participants through rapid-fire game-show-style questions covering clinically relevant DNIs across diverse patient populations and practice settings. Expert panelists will reveal and explain answers, highlight key mechanisms and clinical implications, and share practical, evidence-based strategies through focused clinical insight presentations.
