Clinical

At Shady Grove Medical Center I took on the responsibilites of an inpatient clinical dietitian. I performed nutrition screening and managed and prioritized intial and follow up assessments. I was responsible for about 10 patients a day including intitial, follow-up, and education assessments.

COmmunity

During my commnity rotation I worked virtually on several projects. I made lesson plans for children, adult, and senior age groups which I presented them either virtually or in person. I made educational posters about National Nutrition Month that were displayed at Shady Grove Medical Center. I also wrote a letter to Virginia Representative Beyer requesting he support the expansion of food stamps. I worked with a private practice dietitian to write articles and make marketing material focused on maternal nutrition.

Long-Term Care

At Vinson Retirement Community I learned about the role of a  long-term care dietitian and wrote a "Dietitian's Corner" article on portion sizes.

Concentration

My concentration was focused on eating disorder treatment. I worked with a private practice to learn about a dietitian's role in recovery. I created and updated handouts for families and attended staff meetings. I also toured inpatient treatment facilities.
