How would you define “currency”? Currency is: A) Relevant
today or new; B) Revenue generating; C) Medium of
exchange; D) All of the above.
Answer: D. “All of the above” describes the content of this
year’s May Conference, as presentations from all of these
areas bring “currency” to you. Nutrition currency is cuttingedge research that informs both policy and practice.
Nutrition currency is information about the 2015 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans brought to you by a member of
the guidelines committee. Nutrition currency is practical
information about the billing and reimbursement codes
for dietitians and the new Goal Wizard practice-based
competencies. Currency is envisioning the future of
sustainability from farm to plate. All of these aspects of
“nutrition currency” will be part of this not-to-be-missed
May Conference at Purdue.
The ketogenic diet is a current hot topic and three new
faculty members in our department, Jessica Ellis, Ryan
Grant and Mridul Datta, will share current research on
the use of ketogenic diets in neurological disorders,
weight loss & inflammation and cancer therapy. Professor
Wayne Campbell, another faculty member, will share
his perspective and experience as a member of the 2015
Dietary Guideline Advisory Committee. Additionally, Gary
Corbett of Fair Oaks Farms will present a vision of the
possibilities for future sustainability in our food system that
we are certain will both entertain and “wow”. Finally, we
are featuring a session that includes two current issues of
great practical value to those in dietetics practice: Sandra
Morris, the Indiana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
reimbursement representative will present on adding
value via coding and billing for malnutrition and medical
nutrition therapy, and Professor Kathleen Niedert will
provide an orientation to the new Goal Wizard practicebased competencies for Registered Dietitians.
Our goal is to provide you with new content, as well as new
ideas to integrate with your existing knowledge base. In
addition to the outstanding presentations above, we are
planning a poster session that will cover a broad range
of research topics. As always, we hope to enhance our
connection, as faculty and staff from the Department of
Nutrition Science, with you and provide an opportunity for
you to network with other nutrition professionals. Come
explore topics that will be useful to both clinicians and
nutrition educators. The conference will be in Stewart
Center.
This conference is held in conjunction with our Hall of Fame
Award Reception. You are most welcome to attend this
event. The Hall of Fame reception and presentations will
be in the East Faculty Lounge of Purdue Memorial Union
following the Conference from 4:00–6:00 PM. Information
about the 2015 recipients will be on the Nutrition Science
website - www.purdue.edu/hhs/nutr
The Department of Nutrition Science is a Continuing
Professional Education accredited provider for the
Commission on Dietetic Registration of the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics. This conference will provide 6
CPEUs for those who attend all presentations and spend
one hour reviewing posters.
