Jumpstart Clinical Nutrition Program 2024: Nurturing and Connecting Rising Stars in Clinical Nutrition
Applications for the next cohort are now open
Advancing patient care for chronically and critically ill people is at the heart of everything we do. To further this goal, we actively support clinical research, as well as the education and mentorship of healthcare professionals. With great enthusiasm, we are continuing our commitment with a new wave of JUMPstart Clinical Nutrition — a program designed to educate and support clinicians and researchers, fostering an international network dedicated to enhancing patients’ nutritional care.
JUMPstart Clinical Nutrition serves as a mentorship program for clinicians and researchers at the beginning of their career specializing in nutrition and research within critical care and major abdominal surgery.
We are thrilled to announce that applications for the next JUMPstart Clinical Nutrition cohort will open on April 26, with the deadline set for July 31.
Why should you apply or share the opportunity with a colleague?
