Burns Nutrition Fellowship

Nutritional support represents a critical component in the care of acutely burned patients. The unique nutritional needs of a burn patient mean close attention must be paid to the unique hypermetabolic state, which results in loss of lean body mass and impaired wound healing. Early provision of nutrition support in a correct manner is vital in enabling the successful closure of wounds and resolution of the hypermetabolic state.

The Interburns Training Centre (ITC) at Choithram Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, India offers a Fellowship in Burns Nutrition and has held the first Advanced Training Workshop on nutrition support in burn patients. All health care professionals who have a special interest in burns nutrition can apply, including nutritionists, surgeons, nurses, paramedic staff, dietician technicians and nutrition students.
