Internship Joint Class Days 2009-10

We spent a few days out of the year in class days with all of the regional interns. This allowed us to meet interns and students from Virginia Tech University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore and College Park, National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Sodexo, Aramark and Howard University.

Topics that we covered:
  1. Public Policy
  2. Information Technology for Dietitians
  3. Federal Regulations in the Nutrition Field
  4. Research Techniques
  5. Nutrition for Critical Care
  6. Long-term Nutrition
  7. Community Nutrition
  8. Pediatric Nutrition
We spent time at the Maryland Dietetic Association Annual Meeting and also visited places like the Children's National Medical Center, Food and Drug Administration, Food and Nutrition Information Center/NAL, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, National Institutes of Health, Hebrew Home long term care facility, and, of course, the University of Maryland Medical Center in the Shock Trauma Auditorium.
