The concentration of the internship 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. As part of the concentration, I completed different assignments, certifications, and readings to help me become more competent in professional communication.

It was created like a newspaper article, and was aimed to be read by the general population. I wrote my article about chocolate milk.
