One of my colleagues, Kipp Ellsworth, at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has started a pediatric nutrition blog:
The Pediatric Nutritionist | Covering the world of infant, child … (www.childrensnutrition.org)
The site contains:
- Core lectures section containing several presentations addressing the basics of pediatric nutrition
- Feature Articles (long-form articles covering expansive clinical nutrition topics)
- Protocol Development (articles covering institutional efforts to develop nutrition support protocols for various populations)
- Journal Club
- Clinical Vignettes (short-form articles or discussions on issues facing clinical practice)
I’ve reviewed the site and I think it will be a useful resource for pediatric gastroenterology providers as well as general pediatricians. Kipp has had a twitter feed which has provided links to a large number of nutrition articles and this site is likely to be a helpful extension. Already on the site, there are a few powerpoint lectures; the one on formulas for infants and children provides a particularly good overview.

Dr. Hochman:
Thank you for the favorable review and recommendation of my new blog site to your readership. Thank you as well for your contributions to the pediatric nutrition blogosphere over the past 1.5 years by consistently addressing the importance of evidence-based nutrition support for the pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology patient population. In particular, your use of social media/blogging to evolve your practice and the practice of your readership into a greater degree of answerable reciprocity with the literature is consistent with my goals as the coordinator of the nutrition support professional development program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. I look forward to collaborating with you and Dr. Cary Sauer in promoting the use of social media for the nutrition support professional development of GI Cares for Kids, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Nutrition / Emory University School of Medicine staff members. This morning, Dr. Sauer informed me of his intent to start a quarterly “Social Media Rounds” as part of his division’s Tuesday conferences series in which content from “The Pediatric Nutritionist” and “GutsandGrowth” would be discussed amongst fellows and attending physicians. Hopefully our efforts will overcome the neophobia associated with the use of social media and Web 2.0 technology as heuristic devices in nutrition support practice.
Cordially,
Kipp Ellsworth, MS, RD, CSP, CNSC
