Ughhhh. I appreciate this so much. I am coming to a part in my academic journey where I am looking at schools to apply to for an MPH in Nutrition. This nutrition track is not what I was expecting. I am working diligently to find diverse programs that meet all of my needs. I haven't found one. I am not sure one exists. I resonated with her story so much, I too am tired of being resilient and "brave" and "too busy" to check somebody's micro/harsh aggressions. I hope she sails through the academic portion of her journey and absorbs all the good stuff. We are the future, it seems. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience, Tannis. FWIW she is really happy with her dietetic internship program (located at a public university in the South), and it sounds very diverse for a DI class. I'd be happy to connect you, if that would be helpful. Good luck in your search! "This nutrition track is not what I was expecting" really sums up the experience of so many.
Thank you for sharing this student’s perspective. I’ve been out of school and completed MS/DI over 20 yrs ago. The program was in a large diverse school in the Northeast, yet it was void of any diversity within the cohort of my class. I believe that we can learn so much from those we’re in-relation with, those we study with and alongside; I feel like I missed a very crucial piece of my dietetics education, a piece that isn’t taught in books, yet is more practical and applicable that the TPN numbers I had to memorize...
Important. Also, I love to hire passionate dietitians out of their internships so please pass along our info - Ashley hello@thebetternutritionprogram.com
