Summary

Although nutrition and obesity management principles should be incorporated into nearly every GI-based clinical care plan, many gastroenterologists do not feel properly trained to do this. Hopefully this web-based curriculum has provided a basic foundation for nutritional knowledge as it applies to broad GI clinical practice.

For those gastroenterologists who are interested in obtaining more advanced knowledge in the space and/or are considering additional training and board certification, the following articles provide additional approaches and resources.
