Nutrition Education Plan

Community Nutrition

 Skill Area: Community Nutrition

 Assignment Title: Nutrition Education Plan

What I learned: During my internship for my community nutrition course,  I was assigned to work with an on-campus student education program. My partner and I were required to schedule informational sessions throughout the semester. This assignment was used to create a plan for the course of action we were to take in our internship.

Reflection to assignment: It was helpful, and comforting, to write out and develop this plan. It was a bit hard to get started on it, but once I did I could see the benefit in the end. I felt much more assured of what the plan we had in mind was due to this assignment, and was able to better follow it throughout the semester as well.

Relevance to the profession: This assignment helped me to understand the importance of making a plan ahead of time. So often in my life, I have jumped into tasks without planning first, and there have always been negative consequences. Through this semester, I was able to gain experience in making a plan that can be implemented. In dietetics, like most professions, this is helpful and can keep things much more organized in the future as well.
