Preface

The A.S.P.E.N. Pediatric Nutrition Support Core Curriculum

is the result of a question. One of the pediatric residency

directors asked me several years ago if A.S.P.E.N. had a

curriculum for teaching the residents about nutrition. They

had been looking for a way to teach the residents nutrition

and found nothing. I sadly told her no. It turned out that in

the pediatric section I was not the only person who saw the

need for a pediatric core curriculum.

This curriculum is designed to start with the basic

nutrition physiology then progress through the principles

for nutrition in disease states. It ends with the nuts and

bolts for daily care. Each chapter begins with an outline of

the important contents of that chapter and then ends with

“test your knowledge” questions. These are designed to

help you find out if you learned the important concepts of

the chapter. What this curriculum doesn’t have is in-depth

coverage of neonatal nutrition, although some of this is

covered in the context of the physiology of development.

It is also not exhaustive in its coverage of nutrition in the

various disease states. This is designed to be the pediatric

“core” curriculum; to be a disease-specific specialist will

require study beyond this “starting point.” The desire here

is to create a firm foundation of pediatric nutrition that

anyone can build on any way they wish.
