DIETETICS VS. NUTRITION OPTION
Am I in the right option??
Option 1- Dietetics: This option is often chosen by students who plan to pursue a career in the field of dietetics, mostly likely as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
Option 2 - Nutrition: This option has many of the same science foundation courses and core nutrition course requirements as the Dietetics option, but it offers flexibility in the course requirements and allows students to make choices to incorporate a specific emphasis into the degree i.e. prepare for pharmacy, PA school, medical school, health professional schools.

Our mission is to embrace the whole person, in mind, body and spirit and to serve all people with dignity. The Patient Experience Ambassador serves as a link between the patient and clinical staff as well as the families in clinical staff. They are trained to assist patients in non-clinical tasks to ensure adequate and timely communication; to ensure comfort; and to alleviate fear and anxiety. The ultimate goal is to ensure that Emergency Center patients leave with an understanding of their care and the follow ups required ensuring continued healing.
The Patient Experience Ambassador is a key member of the Emergency team. The success of our patient’s journey is dependent on how successful we are with each interaction at each step of the Emergency Center journey.
