Course Description:

The hallmark of acute and chronic disease is an increase in the inflammatory response. The pathophysiology of the inflammatory response is an advanced concept and not always included in formational course content. Understanding the acute and chronic responses to inflammation can assist clinicians in developing intervention strategies. Traditionally, pharmaceutical agents have been used. Nutrition and strategic supplementation provide an additional treatment modality not often used in clinical practice. This course is relevant for all healthcare professionals to complement clinical recommendations and augment treatment outcomes.
