Along with my rotations, I completed complementary coursework. During the fall semester I participated in a course about pediatric nutrition. During the spring I completed a course on advanced medical nutrition therapy. In addition to these courses, the program has an emphasis on communication. As part of this emphasis, we are given different readings and assignments to keep track of.
The concentration of the program is communications. This concentration was designed to help students be able to evaluate current information that is available to the public, as well as ongoing research. It was also created to help us competently communicate information about nutrition and dietetics upon completion of the internship.

During the fall semester, I completed a course on pediatric nutrition. The goal of this course was to help teach specific nutrition related topics related to pediatrics, from birth to age 20 and topics related to pregnancy. It had multiple readings and assignments to help achieve this goal.

I completed an advanced medical nutrition therapy (MNT) course during the spring semester. This course was designed to help me become a competent clinical dietitian, focusing on disease states and how nutrition is related to them. It included multiple readings, assignments, and discussions to help me learn the material covered.
