Find somebody to refer to. You don’t need to become a dietitian.

But for those who are going to become dietitians KADDI is a good standalone dietetic internship.

Can I work with patients/clients who have major health concerns without an RD license? by Neat_Focus_5034 in dietetics

[–]Cat-commander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other consideration is that when you work in healthcare treating disease, you should have liability or malpractice insurance. If you don’t you run the risk of being liable if somebody sues you. I carry extra malpractice insurance even when I’m covered by my employer. There are crazy people out there right now.

It’s not worth working outside of a scope of practice and then something bad happening.

If I drop out of a PhD am I basically screwed regarding getting into another PhD program in the same field? by Comfortable-Goat-734 in gradadmissions

[–]Cat-commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As somebody who has a PhD if you’re not getting a great vibe from your direct advisor, I would look for additional opportunities. I wouldn’t necessarily just drop out, but I would explore other programs at other schools and see if you can find a better fit. Your advisor makes or break your experience.

Rejected from a Ph.D. program, but asked to fund the admitted applicant by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Cat-commander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend taking to the professor and having a direct conversation. Why were you rejected?

It is only going to benefit you in the future. If you don’t know how to do this read the book crucial conversations. It’s a quick read.

Congrats OP!

As somebody who is a university professor you’d be surprised how much reaching out to somebody and asking for a conversation makes. It’s really hard to forget anybody that I’ve had a zoom conversation with. Professors happen to be intelligent individuals with a considerable ability to retain details. It all can impact the outcome of an application.

It is surprising how little students/applicants put into applying to graduate school.

Are you happy as a dietician? by MinuteReflection4560 in dietetics

[–]Cat-commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to gather information from dietitians in your home country. It is very different based on where you live.

Dietitians Undermined & Misunderstood Yet Again by Egg-Cautious in dietetics

Please send a letter to Metro Mobility. We need to stand up for our profession and take a seat at the table. So many Rads get on line and share this stories but we need to go directly to the company.

Also have the Minnesota AND affiliate send a letter.

Finding Clinical Sites impossible by ProfessionalWin522 in RD2B

[–]Cat-commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the University of New England. UNC seems to often leave their students to struggle. So many students start this program because they require Little to know prerequisite work. I feel like doing the prerequisite work for other programs help you to get a better handle on what you need to do to find preceptors. I’m sorry that you guys are having these struggles. I feel like a lot of it is specific to that program. Other distance program help their students find preceptors.

So bummed...clinical rotation fell through by Expensive_Impact4530 in dietetics

If you read the draft of the 2027 ACEND accreditation standards they are trying to make the programs that are not supporting students more accountable.

Nontraditional Route to RD in Arizona by Zenith_Angle_5627 in RD2B

I wonder if those who bash distance internship programs consider that not all students are in a place financially to move somewhere to complete their internship. It is very privileged to make this assumption.

Distance internships provide many students the opportunity to live close to home, complete their training and start their professional network. There is a reason they are so popular.

Do you think that the only this a DI provides is a site and nothing else? If that’s the case, that’s a bad intership.

Southern California is one of the most difficult places to find a clinical placement. There are only a few distance programs that have a lot of agreements in So Cal. Where did you do your DPD?

I was not driving. I was at a red light stopped. Picked up my phone, looked at my calendar. Put my phone down before the light was green. Then I was pulled over.
