I came away with a deep sense of gratitude for the privilege of being there, serving those in need while learning the ways of nutritional healing. In the process I learned a lot about myself that I hadn't known before - the experience truly changed me for the better, and as a result I feel I am well prepared to tackle the challenges that face us all.
Having finished the program, I can now say with certainty that Emory allowed me to develop the skill set needed to succeed as an entry-level dietitian. The wide variety of experiences I had this year, from clinical and community, gave me the ability and confidence to work in any field, thereby broadening my career horizons.
The challenge to obtain a grander understanding of how nutrition relates to human nature was posed daily, and I am forever grateful to every preceptor who played a part in shaping my clinical judgment. In the end, every bit of this special process led to me passing the RD exam and obtaining a career I love.
