Member Spotlight: Praveen S. Goday, MBBS

This video honors Dr. Praveen S. Goday, MBBS, Director of Feeding and Nutrition Programs at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He is also a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University. Dr. Goday’s journey to nutrition was unplanned. He was recruited by his mentor to run the nutrition program in Milwaukee, despite having had no nutrition training. He credits dietitians for much of his nutrition training and stresses the role of the interprofessional nutrition team. Dr. Goday enjoys doing research in different areas of nutrition—from the NICU, PICU, CP, to SBS. He played a key role in the definition of the pediatric feeding disorder and continues to do research in this area. Dr. Goday shares that nutrition gives him a niche and ASPEN provides him a network of like-minded professionals and many opportunities to collaborate on projects. Physician Spotlight is a forum for outstanding Senior Leaders, Young Rising Stars, and International Colleagues in the field of nutrition to discuss important topics and ideas that impact patient care.
