Healthy Impact On U

Education and Background...

 

I completed my Dietetic Internship in May 2016, through Baptist Health Systems hospital in San Antonio Texas. The internship allowed me to complete 1,200 supervised practiced hours while earning graduate credits. The internship guided me to experience Community Dietetics with a heavy emphasis on Clinical Dietetics. The internship was extremely challenging and rewarding. I now feel prepared to work in several areas in the Dietetics field; whether it be running a weightloss clinic, working for a hospital calculating enteral nutrition for complicated diseases states or simply planning menus for a company.

 

I had the privalage to earn my Bachelors degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. The University of Incarnate Word is a Catholic University with a very strict and challanging curiculum in math and science. The degree prepared me for an advanced degree and a Dietetic Internship.
