From early‑morning coffee to patient care, charting, learning, lifting, and nourishing, a full day in the life of a dietetic intern. Every rotation brings new lessons, new challenges, and lots of growth. Grateful for the journey and the fuel that keeps us going 💛

Our intern spent the day teaching PreK–5th graders about balanced meals and the power of fruits and veggies during a Lunch & Learn activity. 🥬💚 She also helped students try April’s Harvest of the Month item, kale, and the kale salad was a crowd favorite.

If you could pick the next Harvest of the Month item, what would it be?

From community to clinical, food service to electives, every rotation has its own rhythm, challenges, and must‑have items that keep you prepared and confident. We pulled together some of the essentials our interns swear by, but we know everyone has their own go‑to tools.

When dietetic interns and athletic training students team up… magic and a little bit of chaos happen in the best way 🤝✨

Between the “Wait… you do WHAT?” moments and the “Ohhh, that actually makes sense now” breakthroughs, this IPE workshop was full of laughs, learning, and a whole lot of teamwork.

From busting assumptions to tackling case studies together, our students got a real look at what collaboration in healthcare actually feels like, and we’re here for it.

Tell us: What’s one thing you wish other professions understood about YOUR role?

✨ Intern Spotlight ✨

This week we’re highlighting Alex Carbone-Larson, MS/DI intern, and her impactful work with Wellness Wednesday at the UH Campus Recreation Center!

🍽️ Build Your Plate Station 🍽️

As part of this event, Alex partnered with Campus Rec to design and lead an interactive nutrition education booth focused on balanced meals.

💬 From the intern:

“I had the opportunity to collaborate with the University of Houston Rec Center to create a Wellness Wednesday booth featuring a Build Your Plate station. Students were invited to use food models to show how they would typically plate their meals. From there, I provided individualized feedback and education on what a balanced plate looks like based on MyPlate guidelines, along with a take-home handout for continued learning. It was a fun and engaging way to meet students where they are and promote practical, realistic nutrition habits.”

👏 We love seeing our interns bring nutrition education to life through hands-on, student-centered experiences like this!
