Celebrate Nutrition Month with Our Clinical Nutrition Resources Guide

March is Nutrition Month! It’s a time to celebrate the vital role and contributions of TeamUHN’s dietitians and diet technicians. We’d like to express our gratitude to these dedicated professionals by providing quality resources for evidence-based practice. 

At UHN Libraries, we’re here to support the Clinical Nutrition team with a comprehensive guide to our key resources, including PEN (Practice-Based Evidence in Nutrition) and the Nutrition Care Manual.  

What’s inside the guide?  

• Practice guidelines  
• Clinical tools  
• Patient education resources   
• ...and more to support your practice!  

We also provide literature searching support or training, to help you stay up-to-date with the most current research.

Happy Nutrition Month!

The land on which the University Health Network operates is the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Haudenosaunee (hoe-dee-no-SHOW-nee), and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. This territory is the subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous and Metis (May-tee) people from across Turtle Island and our library is grateful to have the opportunity to work and learn on this land. 

This National Indigenous Peoples Day, learn and understand more about Indigenous health and experiences with healthcare in Canada by checking out these resources from UHN Library and Information Services.

UHN Libraries is committed to providing a collection that supports TeamUHN efforts in working towards reconciliation. Even if you’re not working primarily with Indigenous populations, we encourage you to explore stories to learn more about the ways Indigenous people experience healthcare in Canada.

For Indigenous Peoples Day you can also join TeamUHN in observing a Sunrise Ceremony at Michener Gitigan!
