About Canadian Malnutrition Task Force

The Canadian Malnutrition Task Force (CMTF) is a group of clinicians, decision makers and researchers forming a standing committee of the Canadian Nutrition Society (CNS). CMTF aims to reduce malnutrition across all health care settings and populations, including adults and children, by increasing awareness of malnutrition, building capacity to enhance nutrition care and advocating for food and nutrition care best practices, standards and policies.

Our vision

Our mission

To advance nutrition care to address malnutrition across all health care sectors through education, advocacy, research, and collaboration.

Our team
 

CMTF Advisory Committee

This committee provides oversight and feedback on CMTF focus areas and work priorities and consists of a variety of nutrition research, clinical practice, and leadership experts from across Canada. See list of CMTF Advisory Committee members here

CMTF Working Groups

These groups advance the strategic aims of CMTF through activities that are geared towards specific health care settings and populations (adults and children), such as hospitals, primary/community care, long term care, and food. Other ad hoc working groups or teams are established to work on special projects or research activities. All groups generally consist of clinicians, academics, professional leaders and other experts specific to each area or project. See list of CMTF Working Groups here
