Abstract

This article covers selected print and website resources that are beneficial to dietitians who work with clients, patients and caregivers who have inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs). Fifty patient advocacy and professional organizations and federal and state governmental resources are listed with a brief description of their application. A summary of seminal or review articles is also included to assist readers who want additional references on this topic. Medical food, pharmaceutical and supplement companies are listed as well.

 

Article Content

A COMPREHENSIVE list of resources is vital to a successful dietetic practice. Whether you are just starting to see patients with genetic metabolic disorders or have spent your career in this field, there are always new resources to expand or update your current resource library. In this section, you will find an extensive list of available resources for the field of genetic metabolic nutrition combined into one location.

 

The list is divided into categories and includes listings of organizations for patients and professionals, federal and state resources, select references from articles in this issue, print resources for patients and professionals, industry produced resources, contacts for medical and low protein food companies and pharmaceutical and supplement resources. While every effort was made to be as comprehensive as possible, the author recognizes that some resources might have been overlooked.
