Hypotrophy in a child is often masked as "just skinny" — and lost time turns into growth retardation, immunodeficiency and prolonged recovery after illness. In the course you will examine the diagnosis of protein-energy malnutrition by modern criteria and master a step-by-step algorithm for calculating nutritional support tailored to the specific patient.

The material is built on clinical case analyses and current guidelines, so after the training you will confidently select formulas, dosages and monitor the dynamics, without fearing refeeding syndrome and other complications.
