Roundtables (RT2)

Discuss specific nutrition support topics during the Roundtables Session. Tables will be organized by topic and participants will have an opportunity to interact in small groups with members of the healthcare team. Each roundtable will have a faculty leader who will meet with groups for 25 minutes before participants are asked to move to another table for discussion on a different topic. Participants will have an opportunity to visit three tables during the session.
