UW-Health Research Rotation

• Developed & assembled two research meals (high fat vs. low fat) using a software that calculated exact nutrient values. The dietitian and I evaluated taste, appearance, and feasibility of the meal. 

• Completed two in-depth research article critiques. 

• Attended a research board meeting at UW-Health and observed the process of approval for research study proposals. 

• Led an hour-long discussion among fellow interns and dietitians on a recent research article about the new nutrition labels. I provided discussion questions to audience prior to meeting and facilitated participation on study design, methodology, results and author conclusions. We also discussed how to incorporate and apply nutrition research into our evidence-based practice.
