Internship Projects
Professional Research Presentation (PRP)
I had the opportunity to research and present to dietitians on Therapeutic Effects of Probiotics and Glycemic Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Participating RDNs were awarded 1 CPEU for attending
Retail Marketing and Wellness Project
As a part of my Food Service Management rotation, I created, marketed and sold a special menu for hospital employees. The event featured sales of special menu items in honor of Black History Month. Along with staff I created a specialty menu and a dessert item to be sold for lunch and dinner in the employee cafeteria. The event turnout was great and staff was excited to see new menu items. This was one of my favorite projects!
Nutrition Education Lessons
How to Become a Registered Dietitian was one of my favorite lessons, and I received great feedback from participants. We discussed the schooling, volunteering, and internship requirements for becoming a dietitian. We also discussed various types of jobs a dietitian can work in, and ways to start preparing now while in high school and things to do in the community. I enjoyed this presentation as it spread awareness about what a dietitian is and the many job opportunities available in the field of nutrition & dietetics.
Nutrition Data Base Assignment
The objective of this assignment is to enhance learning through the critical examination of current literature and to become familiar with reputable journals in the fields of clinical nutrition, food service management and community nutrition. I presented a patients assessment along with a related journal article to peers and advisors.
