FOREWORD
The clinical management of inherited metabolic disorders (IEMs) requires ongoing updates in knowledge and competencies due to the expanding evidence base, the introduction of novel nutritional and pharmacological interventions, and the increasing complexity of long-term patient care. In continuity with previous editions of the South European Academy, the 7th SEA-IEM educational program has been designed to address current professional practice gaps and support the continuous professional development of clinicians and dietitians involved in the care of individuals with IEMs.
This program aims to deepen participants’ understanding of nutrition in IEMs covering topics from maternal and infant nutrition, management of overweight and obesity, nutritional approaches in emergency situations, and emerging field of home PKU monitoring methodologies, as outlined in the scientific program.
Through state-of-the-art lectures, debates, Q&A sessions and practical sessions, the course offers an opportunity to critically appraise new evidence, strengthen nutritional management across clinical contexts and life stages, and continue to share enriching experiences from daily practice.
Particular emphasis will be placed on refining nutritional strategies, integrating dietary management with pharmacological treatments, understanding the implications of metabolic control over time, and optimizing patient outcomes through individualized management plans. The SEA-IEM Lab sessions will foster collaborative learning, allowing participants to apply theoretical concepts to real-world clinical scenarios. The inclusion of selected oral presentations further supports the exchange of clinical experience and contributes to the dissemination of emerging knowledge within the field.
Overall, this CME activity is intended to strengthen participants’ competencies in evidence-based decision making, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient-centered management of IEMs, ensuring alignment with evolving standards of care and improving the quality of services delivered to metabolic patients.bolic patients.
