In the beginning...

Annie and Emily - prepping for a Pen Court Orientation skit... classy.

The crew: Janelle, Brianna, Anne, Annie, Emily, Rebecca

Where all of the creative juices flow and colloboration occurs: "The Intern Room"

It has been one week since we had our BYU Dietetic Internship Orientation and we are already in the full swing of the internship. It won't be long until we hit the big May 28th end-of-BYU DI-luncheon.

Brianna, Ann, and Janelle are beginning with their first clinical rotation at UVRMC and have been hitting the books hard as they prepare to be master clinicians. Each day they meet with Dr. Fullmer and hold dialogues about specific diseases and the related nutritional therapy. RIGOROUS. They are finishing up orientation at the hospital and get to begin working with the RDs soon!

Annie, Rebecca, and Emily are working in Pendulum Court for the first 8 weeks in the management rotation. They have been getting their bearings and preparing for their specific management roles. Rebecca is figuring out the inventory and forecasting for the opening week, Annie is hiring our utility employees (a lot of emails and interviews!), and Emily is busy making posters and planning cheers :)

We are all working on preparing lesson plans for some out-patient classes that we will be doing for BYU staff every Friday. This is a new addition to the internship and should be challenging and interesting. We are responsible for a 6 week weight loss course and some random additional classes - heart disease, diabetes, vegetarian, lacation/pregnancy, celiac, and family meals (I am probably missing some).

It is good to be back at BYU and with our faculty again!
