I am currently volunteering in the nutrition department in Mount Sinai Queens hospital where I shadow dietitians and analyze their nutrition productivity reports from anywhere between 500 to 600 patients in a single day. From this experience, I have gained extensive knowledge on various medical terminologies, and have learned how to perform a Nutrition Focused Physical Exam (NFPE).
At private practice nutritionist office Forest Hills Wellness I volunteer and do tasks such as:
- Gather and review nutrition information from clients prior to their appointments, including food diaries, menu plans and laboratory results.
- Learn electronic charting.
- Schedule initial and follow up appointments.
- Design marketing materials.

LIfeways Nutrition Obesity, binge eating disorders and medical nutrition practice in spring 2019. I have the opportunity to learn how to best treat moderate to severely overweight patients. The behavioral component of the treatment program along with the use of, a compact scale to easily measure out normal portions and balanced meals, and behavioral guidance on training patients to eat at the right rate together results in both a physiological change and a behavioral change which leads to long term weight control.
