Internship Rotation 16: Community, 3 Weeks

I just completed the final rotation for my internship which was in community nutrition. I rotated through various outpatient clinics and worked with multiple dietitians in a counseling setting. These are the clinics that I visited:

• Pediatric Gastrointestinal
• Celiac Disease
• Pediatric Growth and Nutrition
• Bariatric
• Early Renal Insufficiency

I also spent time with the VA research dietitians working on a weight loss research program with participants willing to follow the American Heart Association guidelines. Besides these clinics, I spent time working on seasonal recipe and grass-fed meat handout projects for the Greene Street Farmers Market and completing the online WIC modules.

This was a crazy rotation because I also presented my case study during this time and had to spend a lot of time outside of my work days getting the information put together.
