Dietetics

I am a budding dietitian. I am currently perusing my undergraduate degree at Boston University, and will graduate in December 2010 with a B.S. in Dietetics. After that I complete a 9 month long internship, sit for the exam, and (hopefully) become a RD. Registered dietitians (RDs) are the food and nutrition experts who can translate the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living.  Rated amongst the healthiest of health care professionals, I'm excited to join the ranks of those who truly practice what they preach!

• If you are also a nutrition student, and hope to get matched to an internship, i HIGHLY recommend checking out All Access Internships! This is an excellent resource, with testimonials from previous dietetics interns. Their book "Getting Matched: A Guide for Dietetics Students" Is also excellent!
