Pediatric Iron Deficiency
Free Webinar
The recording of this webinar, Pediatric Iron Deficiency, is now available for viewing.
Do you noticed yourself stumbling in your practice when it comes to pediatric iron deficiency?
Are you confident that you are identifying children at risk?
Did you know the iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in children, making it a high priority to screen for in our assessments?
We are thrilled to announce that Registered Dietitian, Marg Alfieri, will be presenting a free webinar on Pediatric Iron Deficiency.
Marg has both personal and professional experience with Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Her youngest son had an IDA which profoundly shocked her as she was doing research on IDA when he was diagnosed!
Our first thought when we heard this ... how many kids have we met and missed??!!
We met Marg via our Facebook group, Pediatric Dietitians- Newbies to Masters. She has been a fantastic resource and supporter of members of this group, especially surrounding the topic of iron deficiency.
This webinar is for you if:
✔️ You are interested in building your skills and confidence related to iron deficiency
✔️ You feel unsure when to recommend bloodwork and who is at the greatest risk
✔️ You lack training and/or access to experienced pediatric dietitians
✔️ You struggle with managing the anorexia that accompanies iron deficiency anemia
⭐ Recording now available

With Marg's webinar, you can expect to leave with a greater understanding of:
➡ the potential for nutrient related anemias
➡ how growth and anemias are interconnected
➡ the potential for nutrient depletion and anemias
➡ the need to discuss anemias with patients who may be at risk and their healthcare providers
➡ how to prevent iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia
