Community Rotation

SUNY stony brook DI has an emphasis in clinical(10 weeks inpatient 4 weeks outpatient and 2 weeks elective outpatient) and community (4 weeks). However, i was disappointed in the community rotation here. I was interested in community before doing the rotation. I'm not sure if community is generally like this or if it just turned me off. 4 weeks was way too long, although last year it was 5 weeks. During this rotation I had 3 preceptors- each week i had a different one. The preceptors were working on grants (heart links, best practice, obesity coalition) that i helped with...barely. I attended a lot of meetings at schools for the food committee because it was the beginning of the year. I drove a lot (over an hour) to each place and sat there to listen to people discuss/argue about school lunch. So I got a good insight of how school foods are determined... but that's about it. Other times I did a lot of bitch work (office work that nobody else wanted to do) and made handouts for schools (how to eat healthy, etc.). We also have modules for each rotation. We have assignments to work on throughout the rotation that we must turn in. I had to make up lesson plans for a certain audience, write sample letters to the editor, etc. So all in all, I was a bit disappointed in the community rotation. I felt that I did not have a chance to participate and get a feel of community. Or maybe community is a little slow and boring for me...
I came into this internship believing that i will find a field that I would like to pursue after getting my RD.... But I think i was wrong.
