Introduction

Hello! I am a dietetic intern at Stony Brook University at the State University of New York (it's on Long Island). I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Clinical Nutrition and just started my internship in September. I'm also doing a graduate program in Healthcare Policy and Management. I finished my community rotation and I'm currently doing School Food Service. In this blog I am going to be sharing my experiences, venting when necessary, and maybe asking some questions for other interns at other internships (if people actually read this). This way I feel like I could write down what I've done so I wont forget. Also I hope this will be a good method of networking. So please feel free to ask questions and share your ideas as well!

Why did i move from California to Long Island? Well first of all, I ended up here. Most of you probably know that you can't exactly CHOOSE where you want to go but you apply to several places and rank them. This was my last choice but I am glad I got in to Stony Brook. This place is beautiful and a nice change from California. As for the internship, I just started so I can't say too much. This internship emphasizes COMMUNITY and CLINICAL. You can also do a 1 year master's program in health care management during the internship.

Anyways, that is all for now. I will try to post my community and food service experiences in the new future.
