The Joy of Nutrition
A CNSC is a certification awarded to Registered Dietitians and other health professionals after completing a rigorous examination in all things involving enteral and parenteral nutrition. This certification means I have advanced skills in both enteral and parenteral nutrition support for patients both inpatient and outpatient. Every 5 years I need to re-certify which ensures my skills are kept updated and in accordance with all recent guidelines.
"In the years I have spent working with Clare, I've witnessed firsthand her dedicated and compassionate approach to providing nutrition support care to her patients.
Along with a masterful understanding of how nutrition status is affected in a wide range of complex medical conditions, she has the well practiced skill of delivering the best fit solutions to meet the patients individual needs."
