JUNE 2018

7th Annual Bariatric Dietitians of New England Conference

UNE Online, in partnership with Southern Maine Health Care, hosts this annual event on our Portland campus. We were joined by bariatric experts from across New England to share the current and future trends this specialized field is experiencing.

The multi-session event educated guests on binge eating behaviors of the bariatric population, the effects of bariatric support groups, and the skills RD’s need to know when consulting patients who experience weight regain. This expanding field of nutrition continues to teach, inform, and excite the industry.
