Australia

Dr. Mark DeLegge was a key note speaker at a number of hospitals and critical care conferences in the cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane on a recent tour of Australia. He led a number of interactive discussions about improving the outcomes of critically ill patients by using nutrition as a specific therapy. His lectures were described as "top of the line" and "entertaining." Dr. DeLegge was invited back for a major nutrition conference in 2011.

University of Utah/ Brigham and Women's Advanced Endoscopy Course

This was the 15th year of the University of Utah/Brigham and Women's Advanced Endoscopy Course. This was our seventh year planning and organizing the hands-on portion of the course. We have enjoyed working with Drs Fang, Carr-Locke and Disario and their staff, Kevin and Beth, in planning this awesome event at the Canyons Resort in Park City. We, along with our exceptional vendors, work with to set up 10 hands-on endoscopy stations at the base of one of the best ski resorts in the Rockies. What an awesome place and opportunity for nurses, fellows and physicians to get their hands on the newest technology, as shown by the world's leading experts.

Saudi Arabia Trip

Mark DeLegge visited the cities of Jeddah, Suadi Arabia; Dammam, SA; Doha, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He lectured extensively on nutrition in the intensive care unit, the importance of the dietitian, physician, nurse and pharmacist working together to improve patient outcomes by nutritional support and the importance of recognizing opportunities for early enteral nutritional support in the critically ill and post-surgical patient. Mark toured major hospitals, interacted with physicians and clinicians from multiple hospitals and created opportunities for future dialogue exchange.

 

  

 

South Africa Trip

Mark DeLegge traveled to South Africa and visited the cities of Capetown and Blomfontein. There he participated in multi-day critical care nutrition conferences with multiple speakers from South Africa and the United States. The lectures focused on the importance of the dietitian and the well-trained nutrition physician in the intensive care unit. Mark made rounds with hospital teams in a variety of major hospitals with interactive teaching rounds to create a "give and take" environment where everyone learned. Many complicated clinical cases were presented during the conferences allowing for all the expert speakers to comment on what they would do.

 

 

American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition - Orlando, FL

Mark DeLegge organized a conference of physicians, pharmacists, dietitians and nurse leaders in nutrition in the United States overseen by the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition,  a leading US nutrition society. This conference was focused on solving the shortage of specialized nutrition trained physicians. Education, mentoring, research and clinical practice arenas were addressed. Mark was one of the four chairman who set up the conference. He lectured and wrote an article on the current state of resident education in nutrition and the mentoring process. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Journal of Partenteral and Enteral Nutrition in 2010. A unanimous decision was made to create an intersociety (amongst many nutrition societies) physician consortium to continue to work on this very important issue.
